The Museum of Making Music welcomes all visitors and strives to make its buildings, programs, and services accessible to everyone.
Our Commitment to Museum Accessibility
Music is a sensory experience, and we strive to ensure that all visitors can participate. In addition to gallery exhibits, we feature many interactive Sit & Play areas where you can touch, play, and hear.
If you are visiting with a group that has specific access needs, please reach out in advance. We can share information about quiet spaces, seating, and the flow of the galleries so you know what to expect. Larger groups and school visits can also request a modified tour.
We continue to review our accessibility practices and welcome feedback from visitors.
