This is strictly enforced to ensure protection of the museum exhibits, which are not available at any time during the venue rental.

Local ordinances require that loud noise ceases by 10 p.m., and we will ensure compliance with these regulations during your scheduled event. Our staff is happy to provide more detail regarding these policies during a scheduled tour.
