Accessibility at SFMOMA

The Museum entrance and floors are accessible to visitors using wheeled devices or who have mobility difficulties. Our Accessible Drop-off Entrance allows passengers to be dropped off in close proximity to the entrance at Third Street. The entrance also has electric push-button doors for easy entry.

Professional Personal Care Attendants (PPCA) accompanying a paying visitor who requires care will not be charged admission. Entry ticket must be obtained onsite at SFMOMA’s Ticketing desk.

Service animals on a leash and under their owner’s control are welcome.

Lightweight, portable gallery stools, manual wheelchairs, and adjustable canes may be checked out free-of-charge. These are available on a first-come, first-serve basis in exchange for an ID card at Coat Check on Floor 1.

The use of personal mobility devices and motorized vehicles (including Segways) is permitted, on the lowest speed setting.

Elevators on Floor 1 (off of Third Street and Howard Street) are available to take visitors up to the Ticketing Desk and galleries on Floor 2. A second elevator, located in the Helen and Charles Schwab Hall on Floor 2, stops at all gallery levels (Floors 2–7).

Braille and large-print versions of our visitor guide map are available at the ticketing desk.

Free audio content can be accessed at sfmoma.org/audio. Audio descriptions of selected artworks are available.
