The Art Institute of Chicago welcomes all visitors and is committed to making its programs and services accessible to everyone. We offer a range of resources and programs designed specifically for adults and children with disabilities.
Manually operated wheelchairs are readily available, free of charge, at both of the museum’s checkrooms—no reservation required. Personal wheelchairs are always welcome.Â
Ramp access is available at both museum entrances.
Service animals are welcome.
Visitors who would like to request an accommodation are encouraged to send an email to access@artic.edu at least two weeks prior to the intended visit.
*Please note that while major gallery renovation are underway in an adjacent gallery, the Deering Galleries, including our arms and armor display, are accessible by stairs only. This space will once again be fully accessible on December 6, 2024.
