Accessibility

Access to the Smart Museum
Visitors with disabilities can park immediately west of the Museum, in the Young parking lot.

For best access, wheelchair users and other patrons with mobility limitations should enter the Smart Museum’s courtyard from this side (through the west gate by Ellis Avenue). 

Questions before you go? Our Guest Services team is happy to help! Call the front desk during museum hours at 773.702.0200.
