Accessibility

The Magnes is committed to providing services and programs that are accessible, welcoming, and inclusive of our community.

Wheelchairs

The Magnes Collection’s front lobby, galleries, and auditorium are all accessible by wheelchair. Staff will assist if required.

Service Animals

Service animals are always allowed on campus grounds and in campus buildings.

A service animal is a dog or miniature horse that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for persons with disabilities. Dogs that solely provide companionship, comfort, and emotional support are not considered service animals under the ADA.
