Accessibility

In addition to our general Museum accessibility, we are including additional accommodations for visitors to The Beyond: Georgia O’Keeffe and Contemporary Art.

For visitors with low vision:

• Wall labels throughout the exhibition use large-size text.
• Large-print wall label text booklets are available at the ticket scanning station.

For visitors sensitive to loud noises:

• Noise cancellation headsets are available from the Box Office.

For visitors who are deaf:

• Docent-led tours of the exhibition with an American Sign Language interpreter are offered Saturday, October 27, and Saturday, November 17, at 1:30 pm. A 1 pm exhibition ticket is required.
• Register for the tour by calling (919) 664-6743 or send email. Please specify how many people will be in your group.

• Quiet viewing hours are offered Saturday, October 27, and Saturday, December 1, from 9 to 10 am. No tour is offered at this time, but “Ask Me!” docents will be present to answer questions about the works in the exhibition. Buy tickets by calling (919) 664-6743 or send email.

How long does it take to experience these exhibitions?

Most visitors will likely spend about one hour in The Beyond, and an additional 30 to 45 minutes in Candida Höfer in Mexico.

Is there a restriction to how long I can spend in the exhibitions? Can I enter and exit more than once with my ticket?

You can enter and exit the exhibitions multiple times on the day listed on your ticket, and you can spend as long in the exhibition as you like on that day. If you’d like to return to further experience the exhibitions on another day, a great option is to apply the price of your ticket toward a Museum membership, which allows for a free exhibition visit.

Are the exhibitions suitable for children?

Both exhibitions are suitable for all ages to enjoy.
