Are baby strollers permitted in the Museum?
Due to the size of our venue, only umbrella-type strollers can be accommodated

Does the Museum appraise or authenticate works of art or artifacts?
No. The Museum and its staff are unable to authenticate or perform appraisals
of works of art or artifacts for the public. We suggest that you consult a reputable
art dealer, appraiser, or auction house. You may also wish to contact the Appraisers
Association of America to get more information on certain types of appraisals.
Would the Museum be interested in acquiring works of art or accept
proposals for exhibitions?
The Jewish Museum\'s curatorial staff is always interested in reviewing work
for acquisition and exhibition. However, due to the volume of submissions we regret that we cannot do so in person, nor can we accept original art objects for consideration
without making prior arrangements. If you would like to acquaint the staff with
your proposal and submit it for either exhibition or acquisition review, please
click here for a listing of
procedures that should be followed.
