MCA Road Rules

• 1\. May I touch the art on view?

Invisible salts and oils on your hands can destroy the surface of the artworks. Please preserve art for future generations by not touching it.

• 2\. May I draw or write in the museum?

Recording your thoughts is a great idea as long as you only use pencil and do not put your paper against the wall.

• 3\. May I run in the museum?

Running may put the art and other visitors in danger. We have an outdoor sculpture garden if you need to jump for joy about the cool things you saw today.

• 4\. May I bring food or drink into the gallery or chew gum?

Gum, food, and liquids are not allowed in the galleries.

• 5\. May I touch the fish or drop coins into the pond?

Germs and bacteria from hands and coins harm the fish. Greet the fish and draw pictures of them but please don’t mess with their water.
