Why can we run, eat, touch the artwork, or bring bags into the galleries?
For the safety and security of our visitors, and of the artwork that we house and display, we have several simple rules that will allow you to enjoy your visit to the museum and allow us to protect our facilities and art. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation. LOOK WITH YOUR EYES Touching art or the glass that protects it can damage it. STAY SAFE Walkdont run, and stay close to the adult that brought you. TRAVEL LIGHT You may be asked to check large or bulky bags before entering the Galleries. EAT RIGHT Food and drink are permitted only in the Caf or on Museum grounds. TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES Just not in the Galleries. MIND YOUR MANNERS Turn off cell phones and other beeping devices before entering the Galleries. Smoking in designated outdoor areas only.
