The Museum of Contemporary Art is committed to making the experience of art accessible. We welcome and serve all visitors in an inclusive and safe environment. To ensure all visitors have a safe and memorable experience, we ask staff and visitors to be considerate of others as we share this space. If you need assistance, see something odd, or just need to borrow a pencil, please let a Gallery Attendant (MOCA staff wearing all black) know how we can help.
We ask everyone to adhere to the following guidelines:
Please enjoy our artwork with your eyes! However, please keep two feet of distance from all works of art. Even a slight touch can damage the surface so we ask that you leave touching the art to the professionals. If artwork is interactive, we’ll be sure to let you know. Help us protect the artwork for future generations of visitors!
Adult supervision of all children is required. Young children may not be carried on the shoulders, but strollers are welcome and available for check-out at the reception or lobby desk. Please inquire in the lobby for a Family Guide to use with your children as you go through the exhibition!
Food, drinks, backpacks (even if they are purses), and large bags are not allowed in the museum. A secure storage area is available for items that are prohibited in the galleries.
Photos are welcome in the museum! Just please turn off your flash and put away your tripods, selfie sticks, stabilizers, gimbals, or any equipment that extends the reach of your camera. We only ask that you do not photograph any security equipment, emergency exits, or staff members without consent.
Shirts and shoes please. We ask that all guests wear appropriate attire as they enjoy the museum.
We love pencils! All guests are permitted to take notes and make sketches in the galleries using pencils. Please keep ink, charcoal, markers, oils, and other liquid media at home or safely stowed away.
Service animals are welcome at MOCA. Please note that pets and emotional support animals are not permitted. We are happy to accommodate ADA Service Animals in our galleries.
Wheelchairs are available for check-out at the reception or lobby desk. Just inquire with a friendly MOCA Gallery Attendant when you arrive on-site. Wheelchairs will be wiped down with sanitizing supplies between uses.
