FAQs

  • At the Ellen Noël Art Museum, we are committed to providing a clean and safe environment for all our visitors to enjoy the art and exhibitions. To help us maintain this standard, we ask that you refrain from bringing food or drinks into the gallery areas. This is to protect the artwork from potential damage caused by spills and to prevent pests that can be attracted by food.

     

    We encourage our visitors to enjoy their refreshments in designated areas within the museum. These areas are specifically set up to ensure your comfort while preserving the integrity of our galleries. Please feel free to consume any food or drink in these designated spaces before entering the exhibition areas.

  • You are welcome to take non-flash photos and videos of works of art and the gardens for your personal enjoyment, but not for commercial use. If exhibits have strict photography policies, additional signage will be posted in the exhibit.

    While we enjoy sharing art as much as you do, the Ellen Noël Art Museum asks that you don't use flash photography or videography while visiting our exhibits. Excess exposure to extreme light can be severely damaging to collection pieces.
