The National Gallery of Art has implemented enhanced health and safety measures, but we cannot guarantee that any visitor will not contract COVID-19 while on Gallery premises. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place. Visitors to the Gallery voluntarily assume all risks related to COVID-19 exposure.
Travelers must follow travel restrictions set by the District of Columbia Government through the office of Mayor Muriel E. Bowser. Please check coronavirus.dc.gov for the latest updates regarding travel restrictions or washington.org, which has compiled COVID-19-related information and resources for travel to the District.
Visitors agree to abide by the guidelines on the Gallery’s website and by all instructions posted at the Gallery or provided by staff during the visit. If a visitor or a member of their party fails to follow the Gallery’s guidelines and instructions, they may be denied entry or required to leave the premises.
Each of us plays a role in a successful and safe reopening. Thank you for your patience and commitment to honoring our new safety protocols.
