MoMA is committed to facilitating the accessibility and usability of this website for all people with disabilities. The National Center for Accessible Media at WGBH serves as accessibility consultant in our active and ongoing efforts toward this end.

Wheelchair access
All MoMA galleries, entrances, and facilities are wheelchair accessible. Entrances with power-assist doors are located on 53rd and 54th streets between Fifth and Sixth avenues.
If you or someone in your visiting group has limited mobility, uses a wheelchair, or has difficulty standing still for long periods of time for any reason, you do not have to wait in line. Alert any of the security officers stationed in the lobby or a guest assistant and you will be skipped ahead.
Wheelchairs and rollators are available for use free of charge at all Museum entrances on a first-come, first-served basis. For questions or assistance, please approach any MoMA staff member. Portable stools are also available for use free of charge, and can be requested from any MoMA staff member in the main lobby. Motorized wheelchairs are permitted.
All restrooms are wheelchair accessible. Restrooms are located on all floors except the Theater 2 level and the entry level of the Cullman Education and Research Building.
Single-user/family restrooms are located on the entry level of the Museum (adjacent to the Member Checkroom), Theater 1 level, Floor 5, Floor 3, Floor 6, and the Mezzanine level of the Cullman Education and Research Building.
Elevators are located throughout the Museum.
Service animal policy
Guide dogs and other trained service animals are welcome at the Museum. Pets and emotional support animals are not permitted.
Sensory kit
There are free sensory kits available for pick up at the Crown Creativity Lab on the second floor of the Museum and the Heyman Family Art Lab in the Education and Research Building. Ask a staff member stationed at the Creativity Lab or Art Lab desks for a kit.
The sensory kit contains items that may help calm overstimulating situations. Inside the tote bag you will find resources to support your visit, including a printed Social Guide and Sensory Map, fidgets, noise-canceling headphones, and sunglasses.
Sensory map
Visitors can use this sensory map to identify sensory-friendly spaces within the Museum. Find spaces that tend to be quieter and less crowded, places to sit, and places with tactile engagement and activities.
Please keep in mind that as the Museum’s building and exhibitions change, parts of this map may not always be up to date.
