IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR VISITORS

Before your visit, there are a few things you need to know.

The door will open 10 minutes before the tour begins. If you are more than 15-20 minutes late to your tour, you may be asked to reschedule.
The tour covers two floors and there is no elevator. Visitors unable to use the stairs can tour the first floor and then explore the second floor via video tours- please request this at the front desk. A spoken English video tour is available upon request.

Video tours using American Sign Language are also available upon request.

The one-hour tour may be unsuitable for young children, due to its length, the sophistication of the subject matter, and our hands-off approach to our collections.

Young children and visitors sensitive to topics such as mental illness, death, and autopsy may find the museum disturbing. Human skeletons and preserved organs are on display at the museum.
