Buy Tickets in Advance!
For your safety and comfort, we’re limiting admissions to our museums through timed ticketing so that the number of visitors will never exceed 25% of building capacity at any given time. Visitors’ temperature will be checked upon entry and masks should be worn. Members must also reserve their free timed tickets in advance. Our new capacity can fill quickly so be sure to reserve your spot. Thank you!
