Preparing for Your Visit 

Visitor Guidelines and Safety Measures

The health and safety of our visitors, staff, and volunteers are our highest priority. To help reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19, please review our latest visitor requirements and safety measures in advance of your visit. 

Arriving at the Museum

When you arrive at the Museum, please come to the Raoul Wallenberg Place entrance. Have a chaperone at the front and back of your group as you line up to enter the building. To prepare for security screening, remove your hands from your pockets, take bags off your shoulders, and listen to security staff as you go through the metal detectors. 

Check in at the group desk immediately beyond security when you arrive. We recommend groups provide at least one adult chaperone for every five students under age 18. Please supervise your group and help us to maintain a comfortable, respectful atmosphere for all our visitors.

Preparing Students for their Visit

It is recommended to talk with students about the Holocaust and the Permanent Exhibition prior to their Museum visit. The more prepared students are for what they will see, read, and hear, the more they may gain from their visit to the Museum. The Museum has developed a variety of resource materials for teachers and group leaders. 

Teachers are encouraged to explore these materials. You will receive additional information about preparing for a student visit in your ticket confirmation email.
