We hope you come to the Museum as planned, but if you decide not to, other visitors might miss out if you don’t use your timed-entry tickets.

Members, if you need to reschedule:

• To reschedule special exhibition or any paid tickets, contact us in advance of your visit date by calling 1-800-440-6975 to exchange your tickets for another date. Tickets are non-refundable, but can be exchanged prior to the day of your visit. A $4 exchange fee applies.
• If you do not arrive for a special exhibition, you will forfeit your limited free exhibition ticket(s) and we will not be able to reschedule you for another time slot.
