Plan Your Visit to the Art Museum

The Museum is open to the public Wednesday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. the Museum reserves the right to cancel tickets on short notice if we are required to close the Museum.

Yes, masks are mandatory on the USJ campus and in the Museum at all times. Children two years old and under are not required to wear a mask or face covering.

No more than 10 visitors are permitted in the Museum at any one time. Floor markings guide one-way navigation.

Unfortunately, no coat check/bag check is currently available at the Museum.  Please be prepared to wear your coat and leave backpacks, large handbags, and totes (larger than 11 x 14 inches) at home or in your car. The Museum does not allow food or drink (including water bottles) in its galleries. You may bring your laptop, tablet, or cellphone and may use a pencil (but not a pen) for note-taking.

Unfortunately, all USJ dining facilities are currently closed to the public and the Museum has no space to accommodate visitors who wish to bring their own food or drink.

Please come no more than 10 minutes before your scheduled visit.  Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate early arrivals, as we must maintain limited building capacity and a safe environment.

Unfortunately, if you arrive late, you will not be able to stay beyond the time you reserved.  If you are going to be more than 15-20 minutes late, you should probably reschedule your visit.

Please follow the instructions on your ticket.

For your safety and that of others, please stay home. If you need to cancel your visit, please follow the instructions on your ticket.

Museum visitors who have reserved timed tickets are welcome to park and visit the Art Museum, but should not go elsewhere on campus. Handicap spaces are available. Visitors may park in lot J or in the small parking lot behind Bruyette Athenaeum. In addition to bringing your ticket for entry to the Museum, you should print out a copy to place on the dashboard of your car so that USJ Public Safety officers can see your presence is authorized.

You will enter the Museum’s building (Bruyette Athenaeum) through the main entrance. Visitors enter and leave the Museum through the doors in the Bruyette lobby.

We require this information for contact tracing and to comply with USJ protocols designed to keep our community safe.
