Additional Visitor Info: The Museum has a coat closet and restroom on the first floor in the reception area. An additional restroom is located on the second level of the Museum, on the west side of the building, down the hall from our Piccoli Classroom. Strollers, wheelchairs, and walkers are permitted within the galleries. Patrons are always invited to sketch in the Museum or on the Linden Place grounds. Community sketchbooks are available in the galleries to visitors of all ages. Please avoid wet/messy/permanent materials, pencils only.
