Family Amenities + Guidelines

Family Amenities and Guidelines

Please use only pencils in the galleries.

Photography is allowed for personal non-commercial use. No flash, tripods, or selfie sticks allowed. Please note that photography may be restricted in certain exhibitions.

Floor markers help you know how close you can be. If you don’t see a floor marker, 18 inches away from the artwork is a good place to stand.

Please walk instead of running through the museum.

And please don’t touch! The oils from our skin can damage the art.

There are family-friendly, all-gender restrooms on Floors 2, 3, and 4, and changing tables in both women’s and men’s bathrooms on Floors 1, 5, 6, and 7.

Strollers and soft-sided carriers worn on the front are allowed in the galleries. Soft-sided carriers worn on the back and metal-framed baby carriers are not permitted. Per California state law, breastfeeding and bottle feeding are allowed in all spaces; there are no dedicated spaces for feeding in the museum.

Our visitor experience staff is here to assist you with anything else that might come up. Have fun exploring!
