For Your Safety

To help keep visitors and staff as safe as possible, Phoenix Art Museum has created a number of new policies and procedures in line with recommendations from federal and state public-health officials. Here’s some of what you can expect when you come back to see us again, for the first time.

  • Face masks or similarly protective coverings are required for all visitors and staff inside the Museum. The Museum will provide disposable face masks upon request for those visitors who forget to bring their own masks on the day of their visit. The Museum reserves the right to refuse access to any visitor who does not comply with face-mask requirements.
  • Visitors and staff are required to maintain six feet of physical distance from all other visitors and staff, with the exception of those in a visitor’s own group/household.
  • Groups of guests visiting the Museum together are limited to 10 people or fewer. These parties are required to maintain six feet of distance or more from other visitors and groups.
  • Visitors are required to enter through Greenbaum Lobby, the Museum’s main entrance at the north end of the campus, and exit through Chase Lobby or Palette Restaurant. Entrance into the Museum through Palette Restaurant is not permitted.
  • The Museum has installed additional hand-sanitizer stations throughout the Museum and is implementing rigorous cleaning procedures throughout the day, routinely cleaning and disinfecting high-touch surfaces.
  • All in-person, Docent-led adult and school tours are suspended until further notice.
  • All in-person Museum events, programs, workshops, and films are suspended until further notice. This includes programming on First Fridays and Pay-What-You-Wish-Wednesdays. For information on upcoming virtual events, click here.
  • The Museum Store is open in a limited capacity. For Store-specific safety measures, click here.
  • Palette Restaurant is open in a limited capacity. For restaurant-specific safety measures, click here.
  • The Lemon Art Research Library will remain closed until further notice.

VIEW UPDATED HOURS OF OPERATION

These new hours include adjusted voluntary-donation hours on Wednesdays and First Fridays.

PURCHASE TICKETS IN ADVANCE

To ensure a low-touch experience, we encourage guests to purchase their tickets before they visit. Museum Members are not required to reserve tickets in advance but are required to show their Membership cards at the admissions desk to obtain entrance.
