Rentals

Many of the Museum's public areas can be rented for lectures, performances, receptions, dinners, conferences, and private events. Reservations can be made as early as one year in advance. Three different areas of the Museum are available, and prices vary by areas rented, relationship to the University, and duration of rental (to include setup and cleanup).

The Museum does not have meeting rooms other than the auditorium. Because the only area available for food service is the Museum lobby, events involving food are only possible during hours that the Museum is closed to the public.
