Health & Safety

The safety and well-being of our visitors, staff, and community is our number one priority. We are committed to doing our part to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

A new health policy has been put in place with the following rules:

  • Do not visit if you or anyone in your group is not feeling well. 
  • Masks are optional for all visitors.
  • Keep at least 6 feet between yourself and other groups if you are unvaccinated.
  • Follow all health and safety signage and guidance from staff.
  • Wash your hands/use sanitizer often.

Anyone entering the Museum must be free of the following symptoms related to the COVID-19 virus including fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, muscle aches, sore throat, headache, and/or new loss of sense of smell or taste.

Also, anyone entering the Museum must NOT have come into close contact (within 6 feet) with someone who has a laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis in the past 10 days.

Curious about our sanitizing and disinfecting policies? CMOO follows the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and  New York State Department of Health (DOH)  closely.

We get a lot of questions about our water table, so we made this helpful graphic! Again, CMOO follows CDC COVID-19 related guidelines, as well as exhibit fabricator specifications for cleaning and disinfecting.
