Anyone who is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, including coughing, fever, sore throat, congestion, or shortness of breath, is not permitted in this facility.

​

Please consult a health care provider about your symptoms immediately.

In accordance with local guidance, visitors, students, volunteers, instructors, and staff are required to wear a mask or other face covering.

Wearing a mask, scarf, or bandanna over your mouth and nose significantly reduces the number of respiratory particles (of any kind) you release into the air while breathing and speaking.

Outside food and drink, including chewing gum, is not permitted in the Museum at this time. Please use the receptacle to dispose of tissues and other waste to keep this space clean.

Physical (or social) distancing is one of the best ways to stop the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses. Six feet is just outside the average range of exhaled respiratory particles.

Keep your sneeze to yourself! Cough or sneeze into your sleeve, elbow, or a tissue to keep respiratory particles from spreading to people near you.

We recommend that visitors start on the left-hand side of the Museum and read the curatorial statement before enjoying the rest of the exhibition in a counter-clockwise manner. Don’t forget to check the Alcove Gallery too!

To minimize the spread of germs via touching surfaces, we request that, for the time being, visitors do not put used gallery guides back in the tray. If you and your child complete an activity guide in the Learning Lounge, please keep that as well.

Each front desk volunteer and staff member is responsible for cleaning the front desk, telephone, computer, benches, tables, and other communal items at the end of the day. Learning Lounge materials, such as pens, pencils, and sticky notes, are sanitized daily with a UV light.

Hand sanitizer stations are located at the front of the building where you entered, and next to the elevator just outside of SAM’s front door. Restrooms are through the far right doorway (as you exit the Museum.) A wheelchair-accessible family restroom is available on the second floor.
