Caterers can have access to the kitchen area prior to your event start time. We have key cards that can be given to the catering staff so they may use the outside door to enter and get set up. We do not allow cooking inside the Museum Catering Kitchen due to lack of ventilation. However, a small grill or cook station may be set up outside away from all buildings.

On the rooftop deck we have a retractable covering that can be pulled out to partially cover the deck. The covering will automatically retract if wind gusts above 25 mph. The main patio is also partially covered and can be a good back up space. The event can also be moved indoors and depending on the date/time of your event the main gallery, lobby, and hallway can be used as an indoor space.

Question 8

Do I need an event planner?

Accepted Answer

No. However, we do require a day of contact who is not the client. This can be a trusted member of your extended family, or an organized friend. It needs to be someone who Museum staff can contact during the day of the event.

Question 9

When do I need to clean up?

Accepted Answer

We ask that the primary clean up happens the same day as your event. Rented equipment often needs to be picked up the following day. If this is the case for your event, please instruct the pickup crew to come between 10:00am and noon the day after your event. Please plan to have the venue completely cleared out by noon the day after. If you do store items overnight, they must be broken down as much as possible and placed against the side of the building (on the terrace) or in the catering kitchen. Please be respectful of regular museum operations and plan to tidy your items when storing them.

Question 10

Can I bring tables and chairs on site before my event?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rented furniture/equipment can be stored in the catering kitchen prior to your scheduled setup time slot; in some cases, we can accommodate your equipment the day before if arranged with Museum Staff. Please note the Museum is open to the public Tuesday-Saturday, so staging of your furniture must not interfere or interfere minimally with the visitor experience.
