Planning Your Visit

General admission to our 62 galleries is always free though special exhibitions may carry a small admission fee for non-Members. Parking is free.

If you're an art lover, we're loaded. Art critics and experts consider our collection to be one of the country's hidden gems.

If you're not an art lover, you're still in luck.

We're not your stereotypical museum as we have lots of quiet little galleries instead of big, loud, echoing spaces that remind you of airports or train stations. It makes for a more personal experience.

You don't have to dress up and you don't even have to know a lot about art. People come to the Museum for many reasons, including special events, shopping and our nifty cafe. For some, the main attraction is the peaceful quiet of our galleries and our splendid gardens.

If you're not visiting from out of town, please don't feel like you have to scramble around and try to see everything in just one visit. With 30,000 items in our collection, not to mention two Historic Houses just a few blocks away, that's asking a lot. We offer some help for those in a hurry including a special page on what to see in an hour, but the best help we can offer is an open invitation to return.

You'll always be met with a smile at the Chrysler. Our Gallery Hosts, the people in the pale blue sweaters, are the MVPs of Team Chrysler.
