Question

What's the easiest way to get to and from our wedding venue?

Answer

You can easily walk over from the recommended hotels! As public transit enthusiasts, we'd recommend taking the bus if staying further out. The Museum is accessible via the Madison Metro Transit. Plan your trip online at cityofmadison.com/metro/routes-schedules. The new BRT station is directly in front of the main entrance on State Street. You can also book an app share ride (via uber/taxi) and get dropped off at the corner of W Johnson St and N Henry St.

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

Due to space constraints, we can only accommodate the guests designated on the invitation. We appreciate your understanding.

Question

Is there parking available?

Answer

There are a variety of parking options in downtown Madison. However, the Museum does not offer on-site parking. The Museum is located between two city parking garages: the State Street Capitol Garage and the Overture Center Garage. The City of Madison’s website is useful, providing information and a map as well as a website that shows which lots have parking available. Accessible street parking is available on Henry Street near the blue U.S. Federal Court building, approximately 1/2 block away from the Museum’s main entrance at 227 State Street.
