Museum Etiquette to Guide Your Visit

    • Still and video photography is permitted only in the permanent collection galleries. Still, video, flash photography, and camera lights are not permitted in the Turner exhibition.
    • Smoking is not permitted in any area of the Museums. Food and beverages are not allowed in the Turner exhibition or permanent collections.
    • Please do not touch any artwork. When visiting the exhibition with small children, please maintain supervision.
    • Fragile objects are often placed behind Plexiglas or ropes. Please refrain from touching the Plexiglas casing. If you see tape on the floor near a work of art, the tape indicates how far away you should stand from the object. A good general rule is to stand at least three feet away from a work of art.
    • We appreciate your help in protecting the art for future generations to enjoy.
