Rules:

During your visit to Joslyn, we ask for your help in caring for the Museum — the building, the art, and others who are visiting. Some things you will want to know in advance of your visit:

• Currently, masks are strongly encouraged for all visitors. Masks must be worn by all visitors ages 5 and older who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19 (if you forget yours, complimentary masks are available).
• Please don't touch!
• Cameras (non-flash) are allowed, but not in special exhibitions (photos for casual, personal use only; organized photo shoots of individuals or groups require advance permission; see below)
• Sketching with pencils is allowed in the galleries 
• Large bags, food, and drink are not permitted in the galleries (and at this time, we ask that visitors leave all large bags in their vehicles as storage is not presently available).
• We welcome visitors of all ages! Parents/caregivers are responsible for direct, attentive child supervision; children under age six must remain by an adult’s side at all times, and older children should remain in the same general gallery space as their chaperone.
• Joslyn Art Museum is a Smoke Free Campus. Smoking is not allowed on Museum property, including in the Peter Kiewit Foundation Sculpture Garden and the Discovery Garden.
