VISIT
Because it has a broad mission and desires to serve numerous constituencies, the Museum of Arts and Sciences presents an extensive schedule of changing exhibits, some of which are organized from the permanent collection by the exhibits team, with the remainder traveled by other museums or arts service firms or borrowed from private collectors.
The Museum offers special rates and programs for school, camp, adult, tourism, college and community groups, and for groups of visitors with disabilities.
Appointments are required for all groups visiting the Museum.
