Scheduling the Gallery Area for Special Functions

We greatly appreciate your interest in scheduling gatherings in the Museum of Education’s Gallery Area. So that we may continue to make this area available for special events, we ask that you agree to the following guidelines:

Please do not move any of the permanent chairs or tables (most are secured to the floor). One folding table is stored between the two west exhibits. If you use this table, please return it to its storage space at the end of your event. If you bring any other tables into the Museum (as many of our patrons have done), please return them to their original places in Wardlaw at the end of your event.

Please do not prop open the external south doors (leading outside) since we do try to keep a stable climate for our exhibits’ documents.

For special events: food and drink are permitted, however, we ask that you clean up the area and dispose of all food containers - - used food plates and platters, etc. - - in the Women’s and Men’s restroom’s trash bin (to the left of the Museum’s hallway door). Specifically, we ask that you do not dispose of food items in the Exhibition Area’s trash bins. We make this request because the restroom trashbins are the only containers in this area that are emptied each day. Museum trash is emptied only two times per week.

Red wine, cranberry juice and other similar drinks ARE NOT PERMITTED to be served in the Exhibition Area. We also ask that you reconsider serving any items that would stain the carpet if dropped by your guests (i.e., mustard, ketchup, cocktail sauce).

Unfortunately, we do not encourage small children to visit the Museum. (The scratches on the inside of the external south doors and the marks on the brick wall were caused by unattended children.) If children are brought into the Exhibition Area, we ask that they are attended by parent or guardian.

We would ask that you wipe off any chairs and tables that appear to have food crumbs and/or food-drink spills.

We must admit that we apologies for the many "don't" statements. We list these only because we wish to keep the Exhibition Area clean and "stain-free" for the use and enjoyment of our regular visitors to the Museum of Education.
