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.
