Average size and smaller handbags will be x-rayed and diaper bags will be hand-checked. Handbags larger than 14" wide x 12" high x 6" wide, briefcases, backpacks, large camera bags and suitcases will not be allowed in the Museum.

Please leave these items in your vehicle to avoid any inconvenience to yourself. If you bring them into the Museum you will be required to either dispose of the item or return it to your vehicle. Museum personnel are not permitted to store items for visitors.
