The Menil Collection seeks to provide a quiet and contemplative environment for viewing works of art. Due to this, we ask that you refrain from photography within the galleries.
The museum permits casual photography the foyer and corridors of our main building, and in the entry spaces of the Menil’s art buildings. We do not allow tripods, selfie sticks, or flash photography in our buildings.
We allow professional portrait shoots in our green spaces. However, the Menil does not allow commercial shoots or large-scale productions on the grounds. For special exceptions, please contact press@menil.org. Advance permission is required.
Prohibited items and activities include: confetti or small items that are thrown and litter the grounds; smoke cannons; furniture props; and the use of museum restrooms for outfit changes.
