Guidelines

All press, influencers, and media guests of the museum must adhere to the following guidelines:

Please ensure you’re aware of your surroundings and give plenty of space to the artwork. A good rule of thumb is about 2 feet clearance.
Please abide by the museum’s health and safety guidelines during your visit.

We’re committed to be an open, accessible, inclusive, and welcoming museum for all, and that means respecting the diversity of experiences possible at the PMA and through the transformative power of art.
You have the right to experience your visit through your perspective, and we ask you to respect that right for fellow visitors, members, staff, and volunteers.

Taking photos is encouraged and allowed in most conditions. Professional photography requires permission in advance—just email us and we’ll help make your arrangements.

No flash photography is allowed at any time in the museum. This is due to managing the amount of light artworks are exposed to when on view.

Looking for professional images of the PMA? Send us an email.
Looking to schedule a commercial or personal photo or video shoot? Send us an email.
Do not photograph or record staff or volunteers in any way. The PMA values privacy concerns.
