VISITOR GUIDELINES

Here are some tips and guidelines to get the most out of your visit to IMA:

​

Store Your Belongings

Backpacks, suitcases, camera bags and large shopping bags are not allowed in the galleries.  Please place these items in the coatroom or check them with the docent staff while you tour the exhibitions.

​

Get Close, but Please Do Not Touch

While we encourage visitors to get up close to the artwork, we ask that you do not touch the art. Artworks are fragile, and natural oils, salts, moisture, and small particles on our hands can cause permanent damage. Please also refrain from leaning against walls.
