Museum Conduct
For a positive and safe experience for visitors, please observe the following museum guidelines:
Please do not touch the artifacts. There are many opportunities to get very close to historic objects as you learn about them but unless noted otherwise, please refrain from touching artifacts and print photography. Exposure to oils, residues and stress put these valuable items at risk.
For your safety, do not enter areas that are roped off or indicated as no entry. If you are unsure about a particular area please ask museum staff.
Adults must accompany children at all times. Unattended children are not permitted in the galleries.
Running is not permitted. We wouldn't want you to miss anything.
No Photography. Photography is not permitted in the H. Lee Waters Gallery.
No food or beverages.
We hope you enjoy your visit. If you have further questions, please contact the museum and we will be happy to assist you.
