Parking Policy 

The main parking lot is located off Monroe Street, behind the Green Building. Parking at TMA is free to all visitors thanks to a generous donation from the Taylor Automotive Family, honoring the late Julie Taylor. 

Parents/guardians should not use the Plough Entrance loop for parking. This turnaround is reserved for emergencies and accessibility needs only. 

Want to become a TMA member to receive class discounts? Membership information is available online or at Visitor Services. For class, please enter through the Plough Entrance at the back of the Museum. TMA staff will assist with directing everyone to their classrooms on the first day. Please do not arrive more than 15 minutes before class begins, as students can enter the classroom only 5 minutes before the start time to allow instructors to prepare. 

If you wish to stay at the Museum during class, there is limited seating near our classrooms, or you may explore the Museum galleries during operating hours. For refreshments, visit the Museum Café off Herrick Lobby. Check TMA’s website for operating hours.
