Have you heard about our take-home programs and kits?
We adapted 6 of our most popular Artists and Inventors programs into activities you can do at home, at any time! Click here to place an order, and for more information view our Take-Home Kits page. We are also developing a second series of 6 activities that will be available later this Fall.
In the effort to help keep staff and patrons safe; we are limiting the number of museum patrons allowed in the museum in order to help everyone keep a 6-foot distance.
Two (2) groups will be allowed in the museum at a time with the maximum size of each group being five (5) individuals and limiting the age of visitors to 6yrs and up.
A group’s visit will be limited to one (1) hour; so that we may accommodate all of our patrons.
At this time, we discourage “playdates” or meetups with people you are not regularly in contact with.
All museum visitors MUST wear a mask at all times while in the museum.
The museum is divided into three (3) zones, allowing each group of visitors safe interaction with the museum exhibits. Once your group leaves a zone, you will not be able to return to that zone, so the movement through the museum will be more directed than previous visits. Each section will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after each use.
We will confirm your visit via email. If you do not receive an email or hear from us, or you need to cancel or reschedule, please contact Glen at gschneider@rimosa.org.
We ask that if any member of your group tests positive for COVID-19 within 14 days of your visit, that you notify RIMOSA by email or telephone so that we may properly provide our staff and patrons with timely and accurate information.
