Accessibility

Museum and Art Lab entrances are wheelchair and stroller accessible. At the Museum, the galleries and outdoor terrace are accessible and can be reached by elevator. The Art Lab has a short, steep incline at the front entrance. Many doors, including the Museum’s main entrance and restrooms, have power-assist functionality.

At The Rockwell, accessible restrooms are located on the mezzanine level, including a caregiver and gender-neutral restroom with an adult-sized, universal changing station. Restrooms at the Art Lab are on the same level as the main activities.

Manual wheelchairs, rollators, and umbrella strollers are available free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis; ask any Museum staff person for assistance. The Rockwell also welcomes visitors with personal mobility aids, including walkers, wheelchairs, and scooters.

The Rockwell offers visitors a lightweight and portable Museum stool to borrow, allowing you to take a seat wherever you want to linger. Benches, some with backs and some without, are found throughout the Museum.

Enchroma Color Blind glasses are available to borrow at the Admission Desk, free of charge, to enhance color vision for most people with red-green color blindness.

All visitors, including those who are blind or have low vision, are invited to listen to our free audio guide.

Sensory Kits are available for visitors and can be checked out at the Admission Desk, free of charge. Each kit contains fidget toys, tactile objects, emotion cards, and noise-reducing earmuffs.

We extend complimentary admission to Personal Care Attendants (PCAs) who accompany visitors with disabilities.

Visitors feeding infants are welcome to breastfeed or bottle feed anywhere in the Museum. While food and drink are not permitted in the galleries, visitors may carry a water bottle. There is a designated snacking area at the Art Lab.

Changing tables are located in all restrooms, including an adult-sized, universal changing table in the caregiver and gender-neutral restroom on the mezzanine level of the Museum. Extra supplies are available.

Service animals are welcome under ADA guidelines.
