Accessibility: The main entrance, all galleries, and bathrooms are wheelchair accessible. The second floor is wheelchair accessible by lift. Unfortunately, without on-site parking the Museum is unable to offer handicap parking spaces, but if spots are available, you are welcome to park in the small lot across from our entrance. The Museum entrance is accessible by car via Wardwell Street for visitors seeking direct drop-off.  Service animals are allowed in the museum.

  • BLM - The Board of Directors of the Bristol Art Museum mourn the senseless death of George Floyd and all the victims of racial injustice. The Board actively supports efforts to bridge racial disparities, to reject racism, and to work toward making Bristol a much more culturally rich and inclusive community through the arts. The Board believes art fosters learning, contemplation, and critical discourse; it recognizes positive change is achieved through active engagement with the town and residents. Change happens when communities work together to achieve common goals. Therefore, Bristol Art Museum is committed to developing exhibits and programs around equity, respect, and compassion. These are the organization's guiding principles and touchstones for moving forward.
