The Museum is happy to welcome you for your next event!

To ensure a safe and memorable experience for all, the following safety measures are in place at the Museum.

If a guest is experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 or is not feeling well, we ask that they please stay home.

Masks

Masks inside the Museum are no longer required but are highly recommended. To keep our staff and other visitors safe, please place your used disposable mask in a garbage receptacle or take it home with you when you leave the Museum.

Physical Distancing

We encourage visitors to respect physical distancing measures both inside the Museum and on the grounds.
