Coat Check

A complimentary coat check is located near the The Gallery Shop, with lockers that will accommodate most items. We encourage all visitors to check their backpacks, shopping bags, parcels, and umbrellas as these items could impede viewing as well as pose safety and security threats to the artwork in the galleries.
