Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come during open hours to see the free galleries, or call 215.735.6090 ext. 1 to book a guided tour by appointment..
You can just show up. No sign up needed.
What to expect
A visit is a walk through the current exhibition, The Long Ride Home about Black cowboys in America, with no sign-up and no admission fee. Exhibition tours run about 30 minutes, and the events page gives their times. If you use a wheelchair, plan around the entry step and the stairs to the second floor.
