We’re excited to welcome current students, faculty, and staff to the museum for the fall of 2021.

To begin with, only members of the Middlebury College community currently studying and working on campus are allowed to visit the museum. Museum staff are working on plans that we hope will allow us to welcome more visitors in the not-so-distant future. Until that time, we thank you for your patience, and we encourage you to check back often for updates.

Due to limited capacity in our galleries, everyone visiting the museum should make a free reservation in advance via our Microsoft Bookings platform. Because spots for “walk up” visitors will be somewhat limited (with some hours already fully booked) we encourage you to plan ahead.

Faculty looking to conduct class or group visits in the museum should submit a reservation request through our class/group visit request form.

Museum Hours for the fall of 2021:

** Please note that posted hours are subject to change when academic courses have reserved the Museum. **

Monday: Closed
Tuesday–Friday: 9am–12:30pm, 1:30–4pm

Additionally, closed: all College holidays; November 25–26, 2021; and December 13, 2021–January 3, 2022.

Please read the guidelines below carefully as you plan for your visit.

Museum Visitation Guidelines:

• All visitors are expected to be fully vaccinated or to have a valid medical or religious exemption. In addition, please do not enter the museum if you have signs of respiratory illness or have recently been in close contact with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, please seek medical attention.
• Masks must be worn in the museum at all times.
• Check in with the receptionist upon arrival.
• Leave large backpacks, food/drink, etc. in the cubbies on the ground floor of the museum.
• Stools and clipboards are available on each level.
• Our friendly security will be moving through the museum to help protect the art and make sure that everyone follows COVID safety regulations. They are also happy to answer questions; say hi!
• Museum visits are for a maximum of one hour, beginning at the time marked on your reservation. Although you may arrive at any time during your reservation block, you will be asked to leave the museum when your scheduled reservation comes to an end, so that staff can prepare for subsequent visitors. You are welcome to book another free reservation, later in the same day or on a different day.

How to reserve a museum visit time through Microsoft Bookings:

• Visit our bookings page and select the date you would like to visit, then make a time slot selection from the hours that are available for that date. (At present, only users with Microsoft Office365 accounts through Middlebury College will be able to access our Bookings platform. You will be required to authenticate with your Middlebury username and password to complete the process. We hope to extend access to the wider public later this fall.)
• Friends wanting to visit at the same time should book separate reservations.
• When you click the blue “Book” button to complete the reservation you should see a message that says “Thank you for booking with us. You will receive a confirmation email shortly.” If you receive an error message instead, simply refresh the page, re-enter your information, and resubmit. If you continue to receive an error message, it may mean that the timeslot you’re trying to book is no longer available.
• If you experience technical difficulties or need further assistance with our Bookings platform, please email MuseumReservations@middleburycollege.onmicrosoft.com with the full details of your issue.
