The Noble Maritime Collection is happy to welcome visitors back to the museum starting Thursday, September 10 at noon.

Gallery hours will remain Thursday through Sunday, from 12 to 5 PM, as they were prior to the temporary closure.  We have some important new safety guidelines in place.  

Before you arrive
Please do not visit the museum if you have a fever or any COVID-19 symptoms, have tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 14 days, or have had close contact with anyone who is confirmed or is suspected of having COVID-19.  Please plan to use the museum entrance on Shinbone Alley.  There will be a limit of 15 visitors admitted at any given time, and you will be asked to leave using the door on Randall Way, if possible.

During your visit
1.  Face coverings are required for all visitors over the age of two. You will not be permitted inside the museum without a face covering. We will provide masks for all visitors who require one at no cost. Additionally, face coverings must be worn for the duration of your visit. CDC guidelines advise that face coverings should reach above the nose, below the chin, and completely cover the mouth and nose, and fits snugly against the sides of the face.
2.  At least 6 feet of physical distance must be maintained at all times from all people outside of your visitation group.
3.  Follow directions from staff and signage for physical distancing, reducing contact,and traffic flow.
4.  Hand sanitizer stations are available for your use throughout the museum.
5.  Please do not touch anything in any exhibition space to help us keep everything clean and sanitized.
