Joslyn is taking numerous steps to ensure the well-being of visitors and staff, including timed and ticketed (but still free!) admission, mandatory masks for staff and visitors, enhanced cleaning protocols, and a phased reopening of public areas to ensure physical distancing. Everyone’s health and safety is our top priority, and a modified Museum experience is necessary.
Please note: when visiting Joslyn, all fully vaccinated people must continue to follow all posted safety measures as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

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 must be worn by all visitors ages 5 and older (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 has changed to a Smoke Free Campus to ensure all visitors can enjoy every part of our Museum – inside and out. While smoking has never been permitted inside the Museum, this change will mean that smoking will no longer be allowed on Museum property, including the Peter Kiewit Foundation Sculpture Garden and the Discovery Garden.
