If you have any questions reach out to us at visitart@cranbrook.edu. As we plan, evaluate, and implement changes we would love to hear your feedback and any suggestions to improve the visitor experience.
WELCOME BACK
We look forward to welcoming you back into our gallery spaces and have installed several new exhibitions that showcase many remarkable objects from our collection that are not often on view.
We have also modified the traditional gallery experience, allowing you to fully enjoy your visit while also keeping you safe. We ask that all visitors play a vital role in enabling a safe experience by observing appropriate social distancing, wearing face masks, and adhering to additional health and safety precautions. We will continue to provide virtual tours, family activities, and online programming for those who cannot or do not feel comfortable visiting at this time.
And we know many of you have continued to roam the grounds during our closure, and we are grateful that Cranbrook was able to continue to serve as a place of respite and inspiration during an extraordinary time. This has always been its intention.
We recognize that circumstances may change, and we will continue to evaluate and update our policies as needed. We remain hopeful that we will be able to serve our public under the safest possible new conditions, which we all continue to grow accustomed to.
We reopened to the public on July 22, 2020 and welcome all visitors.
