Visit the Studio Museum in Harlem

Yes! The Studio Museum in Harlem is a great place for visitors of all ages, including children. We have changing tables located in our bathrooms on the lower level, and you are welcome to bring your stroller with you in all public spaces or to leave it in our stroller parking. Children can participate in walking tours and gallery activities. We ask that children aged twelve and under do not walk around the Museum unsupervised, and that you assist in making sure our space is safe for all visitors by ensuring that no one in your party is running, climbing, or roughhousing in the Museum. We encourage caretakers to hold young children’s hands.

We welcome service dogs that are individually trained to perform tasks or do work for the benefit of a person with a disability. However, we are not able to accommodate pets or emotional support animals. Marcus Garvey Memorial Park is located nearby at the corner of Madison Avenue and West 120th Street, in case you and another member of your party would like to take turns visiting the Museum and enjoying time with your pet.

We can keep standard scooters and children’s bicycles in our coat check located on the lower level. Due to safety concerns related to the dangers associated with lithium batteries, we are not able to accept e-bikes or e-scooters. There are Citibike docks located on Adam Clayton Powell Junior Boulevard at West 126th Street.

Any interactive artwork will be labeled as such. To help us protect our art, we ask the public to please not touch artwork that is not clearly labeled as interactive. If you would like a more tactile experience, books are available for viewing in our reading room located on the 5th floor. Sensory kits for visitors with a disability are available from our Visitor Experience staff. We also invite visitors to experience the art in a new way through drawing, writing, and exploratory activities provided by the Museum. Our Learning and Engagement department also provides various ways to experience the work through access programs, guided gallery tours, and more.
