We can’t wait to welcome you back!
But what matters most to us is that you’re SAFE.
That’s why, when it’s safe to reopen, the Museum will follow a line-up of new guidelines in accordance with recommendations from health experts as well as federal, state and local agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the NJ Department of Health (DOH) and the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA).
Please review these guidelines before your visit so you can get the most out of your experience.
