FAQ

What steps is The CJM taking to keep visitors and staff safe? 

Our highest priority is the health and safety of our visitors and staff. We have implemented a number of safety measures to ensure we provide a safe and clean environment:  

  • Visitors are strongly encouraged to wear a well-fitted face mask (N95, KN95, KF94) during their visit.
  • Visitors are strongly encouraged to book their timed tickets online in advance of their visit, in order to ensure a contactless check-in process on arrival at The Museum. Advanced timed tickets can be reserved or purchased here.
  • Air filtration and ventilation systems have been updated as recommended. 

What do I need to know before my visit?

If you feel sick on the day of your visit, are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath, or have been diagnosed with COVID-19 within the past fourteen days, please reschedule your visit to The CJM. Email tickets@thecjm.org if you need to reschedule.

Do I need to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 to visit The CJM?

How will The CJM provide an accessible experience for visitors?

The CJM remains committed to expanding access to exhibitions, programs, and resources to broaden our reach to communities and organizations lacking equitable access to arts and cultural opportunities. Available accessibility resources for visitors include:

  • Wheelchairs and portable gallery stools are available for checkout, free of charge, at the front desk in the Shenson Welcome Center. All wheelchairs and gallery stools are cleaned and disinfected after each use.
  • Accessible formats for all exhibition labels and wall texts can be found digitally via QR code at all exhibition entrances, or online at thecjm.org in screen-reader friendly format.
  • Room signage and elevator controls have raised Braille text, which is regularly cleaned and disinfected. If you would like a pair of gloves to use when touching these signs, please ask at the front desk in the Shenson Welcome Center.
  • For any additional accessibility-related questions or requests, please contact us at access@thecjm.org.

How will my visit be different than usual?

  • Our coat check process has changed since 2020. Coat check is limited to small self-assigned cubbies. Please do not bring large bags or items when you visit, as these will not be allowed inside the galleries, and we will be unable to store them.
