Safety Measures
Do I have to wear a mask?
Masks are welcome but not required. MPM will continue to be a mask-friendly establishment where visitors will always be welcome to wear a facemask. In addition, we will continue to hand out masks to visitors who may want one, as long as supplies last.
Is hand sanitizer available for visitors?
Yes, hand sanitizer stations will be available throughout the Museum, and we request visitors please avoid touching surfaces.
How will high-touch areas be cleaned?
Our professional cleaning team is on-site during Museum operating hours to sanitize and clean the restrooms, lunchroom, common areas, and exhibit galleries, including frequent cleaning of surfaces that hands touch to reduce the spread of germs (i.e. door knobs, light switches, handles, etc.). Deep cleaning takes place when the Museum is closed. The floors are mopped and vacuumed, restrooms are cleaned, and all surfaces are sanitized.
How is social distancing being handled/enforced?
Visitors are encouraged to please be mindful of those around you and respect personal space.
What if I need medical attention during my visit?
Our Visitor Services staff will call our MPM Security for assistance.
