UMMA
UMMA’s gallery is open Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday-Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Guests are required to secure free, timed-entry reservations, with a 30-minute window to arrive at the museum. Once inside, guests may stay as long as they’d like, although a two-hour visit is ideal to avoid crowd congestion.
For the time being, the museum is only booking reservations up to one month in advance.
Masks are required for all visitors at all times, regardless of vaccination status, and guests will have to complete the ResponsiBLUE Health Screening upon arrival.
The UMMA Shop is open Thursday-Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The UMMA Cafe is closed and will reopen in the fall.
