Weather Contingency

A poor weather contingency plan can be discussed for events scheduled in the Courtyard, including moving the event inside to the Swan Atrium, Kaiser C Classroom, and/or Stewart Auditorium. The indoor capacity of the Museum is less than the outdoor capacity, meaning if you event has a planned attendance of more than 300 such a contingency may not be possible. If you have any questions or concerns about a weather contingency, please contact the Museum’s Rentals Team.
