Art Safety Tips
How do we make sure future generations can enjoy the art? With your help.
Touches, bumps, spills, and bright lights can damage or even destroy art, so there are limits on what happens in the Museum.
The basics of protecting art:
Keep hands to yourself, and off the art
Your fingers (toes, elbows) cause immediate damage, leaving oils and dirt behind. Safe, hands-on activities are available for all ages.
Food and drink stay out of the galleries
Anything that could spill, leak, crumble, stick, or stain needs to remain in easy-to-clean areas. You are welcome to eat in the East End or Windhover Hall.
Store backpacks, big bags, and umbrellas
Anything carried on your back or larger than 13 × 17 in. can accidentally bump or break art as you explore. Lockers are available on the East End and in the Quadracci Pavilion.
Personal, flash-free photos are usually encouraged
We welcome photography, without flash or bright light, for personal use. Photo shoots and commercial use require advance approval. (Some exhibitions may have additional limitations.)
Tripods, selfie sticks, and drones are not allowed
Safe visitors and safe art are more important than great photos. Selfie sticks and autonomous or radio-controlled devices are not permitted anywhere in the Museum. Tripods require special arrangements.
