Museum visitors and shoppers:

• Wash and/or sanitize your hand frequently.

We are taking the following precautions to keep our visitors and staff members safe:

• Sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer have been placed throughout the gallery for visitor use.
• Plexiglas barriers have been installed at the front and store desks.
• Most interactive elements are still available, but some have been removed. Other items are on a rotation so that there are fresh items every day.
• Gallery handouts are available online 
• We will be closing an hour early to perform additional, enhanced cleaning procedures.
• The facility is treated with Prevent X, a long-lasting antimicrobial that provides continuous surface protection in between cleaning and disinfecting.
