  • Is WMA handicap accessible?

    WMA is handicap accessible. There is a ramp at the main entrance (facing Museum Avenue) and an elevator to access all galleries and the studio. We also offer a wheelchair if any visitors would like to use it within our facilities. If you need special accommodations, please reach out by phone to 334-794-3871 or email info@wiregrassmuseum.org.

  • Can I bring my stroller?

    We love children and babies and welcome them to explore exhibitions with an adult. Strollers are permitted in the galleries, and please take care to navigate safely around the art.

  • What is not allowed in the museum?

    Please do not touch works of art. It is prohibited to touch any artwork in the galleries. Many pieces are very fragile, and even a fingertip can leave a damaging oil residue on a painting, sculpture, or object.

    • Food and drink are not allowed in the galleries.
    • Only service animals (dogs) who are trained to do work or perform a task for persons with disabilities are permitted in the galleries.
  • Can I take photos?

    Photography is permitted in all public spaces and in the galleries, except where otherwise noted, but the use of flash is not, as it will damage works of art over time. We encourage you to take photos and share your WMA experience! Please tag @WiregrassMuseum and use #wiregrassmuseumofart when posting your photographs online.
