Entrance Drives Changes Effective Through June 16
Now through June 16, the Dodge Street entrance drive is closed for work on the water features of Joslyn's new sculpture garden. Signage directs vehicles to the 24th Street entrance drive. The entrance off of Davenport Street, north of the Museum, is usually gated but is open during the Dodge entrance closure as a second point of entry/exit. Both the 24th Street and Davenport entrance drives offer access to the Parking Garden northeast of the Museum that is fully accessible to the disabled.
Thank you for your patience during construction of Joslyn's new sculpture garden.
- Visitors may enter the Museum through the Memorial Building entrance or the atrium entrance of the Scott Pavilion, both located on the east side. Disabled visitors should use the atrium entrance. Wheelchairs are available on a first come, first served basis at no additional charge. The entire Museum is accessible to the disabled. Sign language interpreters are available with three weeks advance notice.
Museum Entrance Changes Effective June 2 through July 30
June 2 through July 20, the Museum's atrium entrance on the east side of the building is closed for the installation of a revolving door and exterior granite walkway. Visitors may enter the Museum through the doors at the top of the Memorial Building's grand staircase on the east. Disabled visitors will be directed to an entrance on the west side of the Museum (facing 24th Street) to gain access to the building. Handicapped parking will be available at this entrance. [Note: during all phase two construction, there will be no access from the base of the grand staircase. A side walkway to the staircase landing will be used by visitors to reach the second tier of stairs leading directly to the Memorial Building entrance.]
July 21 through July 30, the Museum's Memorial Building entrance (at the top of the grand staircase on the east) is closed as further construction of the exterior granite walkway to the atrium entrance extends east and blocks access to the grand staircase. Visitors, including disabled visitors, may enter the Museum through the atrium entrance on the east side of the building.
Thank you for your patience during construction of Joslyn's new sculpture garden.
