FAQs

Q) What are the parking options?

A) Please see Location & Parking.

Q) How far in advance must I book?

Q) May we eat lunch at the Museum?

A) No. The Spurlock Museum practices an integrated pest management program to prevent damage to collections. In accordance with this IPM policy, visitors are not allowed to eat or drink within the Museum. There are over a dozen restaurants within a block or two of the Museum, and even more options are accessible within a short drive. Groups may also bring sack lunches to eat outside of the Museum, but there is no storage of lunches available in the building.

Q) Will my group be photographed in the Museum?

A) It's possible. Museum staff may photograph or record visitors for:

archives of programs, events, or individual visits;
Museum promotion (brochures, flyers, etc.); and
reports to supporting departments or funding institutions.

Permission for documentation will be presumed unless staff members are directly informed otherwise. The names of those documented will not be used without written permission.
