Gallery policies
for visitors to National Gallery of Art
Visitors must present all carried items for inspection upon entry. All luggage, backpacks, umbrellas, parcels and oversized bags must be left in the checkrooms, free of charge, located at the entrances to both the East and West Buildings. These items will have to be X-rayed before being accepted. Items of value, such as laptop computers, cameras, and fur coats, may not be left in the checkrooms but may be carried into the Gallery.
We regret that we do not have enough space for items larger than 17 x26 inches into the Gallery or its checkrooms.
Additional security procedures and checks may be taken according to the decision of the Gallery.
For the safety of the artworks and other visitors, nothing may be carried on a visitor’s back. Soft front baby carriers are allowed, but children may not be carried on shoulders or in a child carrier worn on the back. Pushchairs are available free of charge near each checkroom.
Smoking is prohibited. Food and drink are not permitted outside the food service areas. Unopened bottled water may be carried only in a visitor’s bag.
Talking on cellphones is not permitted in the Gallery. Animals, other than service animals, are not permitted in the Gallery.
Skateboarding is prohibited.
Photography and video for personal use are permitted except in special exhibitions and where specifically prohibited. Tripods(三脚架) are not allowed.
Please do not touch the works of art.
