Current Business Details

• Are you Open or Closed?: Open
• Additional Guidelines: GRAM’s Reopening and Visitor Experience
  We’re excited to welcome you back to the Museum!
  
  GRAM is pleased to announce that we are reopening to the public on August 1, 2020. Though we’re eager for guests to explore the Museum again, there will be a number of changes to how we operate as we consider the health and safety of all visitors and staff.
  
  Member Appreciation Soft Opening: July 25, 28, and 30
  Public Opening: August 1
  
  Though things may be a bit different during your visit, GRAM remains committed to connecting people through art, creativity, and design, and keeping our guests and staff safe is the most important step to reopening our doors.
  
  If you have questions about purchasing tickets, new visitor requirements, or the Museum’s health and safety procedures, contact Visitor Services at 616.831.1000 or info@artmuseumgr.org.
