Visitor Safety

Masks

In alignment with the CDC guidance, masks are strongly encouraged for all visitors regardless of vaccination status.

Social Distancing

Social distancing is no longer required. But we have plenty of space–over 545,000 square feet–to spread out in the museum.

Health Etiquette

Please wash and/or sanitize your hands before touching merchandise in The Store. Sanitizer is available throughout the building.

Tours and Groups

Guided private tours of the permanent collection are currently on pause. For a full schedule of public tours and public book tours, visit our Guided Tours page.

Increased Cleanliness

Implementation of cleaning risk mitigation strategies and disinfection of public spaces and frequently touched surfaces such as door handles, elevator buttons, vending machines, push plates, stair rails, restroom fixtures, countertops, faucet handles, and water fountains will remain an elevated priority. Designated custodial staff will focus on frequently touched surfaces utilizing EPA registered disinfectants, based on OSHA standards, CDC directives, and MDH recommendations.

In addition to custodial best practices, engineering controls will be implemented for exposure reduction solutions, such as increasing HVAC ventilation and enhanced air filter supply exchange circulation.
