COVID-19 Enhanced Safety Measures
The Museum has implemented enhanced health and safety measures, but we cannot guarantee that any visitor will not contract COVID-19 while in the museum. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place at this time. The requirement for bag inspection and visitor screening on entrance will result in an inability to guarantee our security officers can maintain 6-foot social distance during these procedures. Visitors to the Museum voluntarily assume all risks related to COVID-19 exposure. In the event of a reported COVID-19 exposure during their visit, the person making the reservation will be notified by the email they provided on their reservation and that person will be responsible for notifying all members of their party.
If you’re sick (or not feeling well), please visit us another time
For the safety of all visitors and staff, anyone who is sick or has any sign of a respiratory illness should stay home.
Face Coverings
Face coverings are recommended for all unvaccinated persons.
Entering the Museum
Visitors must check their temperature before arrival on the day of the timed ticket to confirm that they do not have a fever. Any visitor displaying visible symptoms of COVID-19 will be denied entry. In addition, guest temperatures will be monitored upon arrival by a remote diagnostic system. Any guest with a temperature above 100.4 degrees will be denied entry to the museum.
Stay Six Feet Apart
For your convenience, floor markers have been installed to indicate directional flow and proper spacing of individuals and groups. Practice social distancing during your visit by staying at least 6 feet from anyone not in your group. Groups of no more than 6 will be able to social distance together. Children must stay with adults at all times. Failure to follow social distancing procedures and mandatory face covering policy will result in removal from the museum.
Bring Your Own Device
iPod Touch devices are no longer available for visitor use. Visitors are encouraged to download the Bush Center app on their personal device (iTunes • Google Play) and bring headphones to experience audio tours of the exhibit(s).
Enhanced Cleaning Measures in Place
The Museum is conducting enhanced cleanings of the museum and high-touch areas. Hand sanitizer is available throughout the museum.
Contact Tracing
The Museum may share your name and email address with a governmental health authority should that information be requested for a COVID-19-related reason. If a visitor reports that she or he was diagnosed with COVID-19 after visiting the Museum near your visit, the Museum will use your contact information to notify you. If you do not want your name or email address used for these purposes, please email us at [email protected] The Museum will not disclose your email address for any other purpose without your permission.
To enhance the safety and wellbeing of our community, we ask that anyone testing positive for (or expressing symptoms of) COVID-19 within 5 days of their visit notify the Museum by email at [email protected] Other visitors will be notified of potential exposure, but the identity of the person testing positive will not be communicated.
Visitors agree to abide by the guidelines on the Museum's website and by all instructions posted in the museum or provided by staff during the visit. If a visitor or a member of their party fails to follow the Museum's guidelines and instructions, they may be denied entry or required to leave the premises.
Each of us plays a role in a successful and safe reopening. Thank you for your patience and commitment to honoring our new safety protocols.
