Borrowing a Pass:

Cancellations can be made through the online portal or by contacting an Adult Services Staff Member. Failure to cancel a reserved item will result in a ‘no-show’ flag on the account that will affect the ability to borrow museum passes in the future.

operating hours, timed entry tickets, or COVID-19 admission guidelines. Patrons are responsible for
contacting the museum for any additional requirements to entry.
