Visitor Tips & Guidelines

Guidelines

In order to enhance your visit with us, we have several guidelines to assist you in your planning process.

• Oversized bags, backpacks, and rear-facing child carriers must be left with Security upon entry to the Gallery. Strollers are permitted.

• Flash photography is never permitted; photography is not permitted in special exhibition galleries and limited in our collection galleries. These guidelines also pertain to the use of cell phone cameras.

• Sending or receiving cell phone calls is discouraged in the galleries. It is disruptive to other visitors viewing the exhibitions. Please use the Atrium area for these calls.

• Food and beverages are permitted within the Café area only. Outside food and beverages are not permitted.

• Only pets tagged and related to special needs persons are permitted in the Gallery. They must be leashed at all times.

• For information about sketching in the galleries, please contact the curatorial department at 202-639-1714.

We make every effort to keep our website up-to-date with hours of operation, exhibitions on view, holiday hours, and special programming. If you have questions or comments, please call (202) 639-1700 (press 1 and then 3 to reach Visitor Services) or e-mail visitorservices@corcoran.org.
