Are there special rules in place for these tours?
Yes, all visitors and staff must properly wear a cloth face covering at all times while at the museum. Everyone must keep a proper distance of at least six feet from anyone in the building who is not a part of their household. Please follow the instructions of museum staff members, especially when entering and exiting the building. Please do not touch anything in the museum unless it is absolutely necessary.
When I arrive for my tour, where do I go?
Once you arrive, please wait in the designated visitor area outside the museum. A museum staff member will be outside to greet you five minutes before your scheduled tour time.
Are restrooms available?
Restrooms are not available at the Johnson Victrola Museum. Please use the facilities prior to your arrival.
Is this a guided tour?
Tours will largely be self-guided, but museum staff will be on-hand to answer any questions and provide additional information.
How many people can be on the tour at one time?
The maximum number of people who can be on a tour is six. All of the people on the tour must be from the same household. Friends or family from other households must make a separate reservation for a different tour time.
What is the definition of a household for these tours?
We are considering one household to consist of people who have been living together during the lockdown. You do not have to be related to be considered part of the same household. Family members who live in separate locations do not count as one household.
I’m not sure if I am comfortable visiting a museum yet. Is there another way for me to interact with the Johnson Victrola Museum or any of the other museums of the Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs?
