We ask that all student groups have one chaperone for every 10 students. Large groups will be asked to divide into smaller groups to allow for easy navigation through the galleries.

Photography is welcome without a flash. Please keep a safe distance from the art both indoors and outdoors.

The museum’s hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 1-5pm. Closed Mondays and holidays.

We look forward to hearing from you with potential dates and times for your visit.
