Thanks to the State of Connecticut and Yale University, the first floor of the Peabody Museum is being air-conditioned in time for summer 1999. Unfortunately, for this and other reasons, from time to time some exhibits may be closed or difficult to get into over the next few months. We apologize for any inconvenience you may experience. We hope you will bear with us as we make the Peabody a more comfortable and attractive place to visit and continue to perform our important educational role in the community. There is no cafeteria or lunchroom at the Peabody.
Visitors are welcome to bring lunch and picnic on the lawns behind the museum.
The admissions desk will provide directions to restaurants in the area. Every year the Yale Peabody Museum provides educational programs for adults and students. Before and after presentations the Peabody is available for self-guided visiting to program enrollees. Self-guided groups must have a reservation. Reduced admission fees are available for groups of 20 or more people.
