Rules & Regulations

Utah Valley University Museum of Art
Site Rules and Regulations

We are first and foremost an art museum. We are responsible for the care of our permanent collections, any art on loan to us for display, and the building and grounds we are housed in. So, we have some limitations which may be unique to our location:

  1. Artwork may not be removed from walls or pedestals for any reason.
  2. Climbing is not allowed on any structure inside or outside the museum.
  3. No food or drink inside the museum.
  4. Take care to avoid damaging or displacing artworks—do not lean on walls or back into artwork.
  5. Do not move museum furniture or signage yourself or instruct clients to move furniture. Request members of staG move the furniture for you.
  6. All instruction given by museum staG is to be followed immediately, by photographers and clients.
  7. No flash photography indoors due to light sensitivity of art.
  8. Be mindful of museum visitors’ experience. Do not block access to galleries, stairways, or entrances, and yield to visitors unless you have booked private usage of a space.
  9. Unless part of a private booking, do not enter spaces blocked oG by black stanchions or barricades. Do not attempt to force open locked doors.
  10. As the museum building was originally constructed as a private residence, be aware capacity is limited by residential weight limits. Let the museum know in advance if a group of more than five people is planned for a shoot.
  11. No shoot may create any mess in spaces visitors or staG frequent.
  12. All people present for a shoot must be actively participating in the shoot for the entire period. No spectators allowed.
  13. Drone usage in museum airspace is restricted by Utah Valley University. Notify the museum of any requests for drone usage at least one month in advance.
  14. All shoots are required to finish ten minutes before oGicial museum close (Tue: 7:50pm, Wed-Sat: 4:50pm). This is to allow photographers and clients to collect personal items and equipment before shutdown. Any items locked inside the museum past close will not be available for collection until next museum opening.

The UVU Museum of Art reserves the right to revoke Pre-Approved or Preferred status if any of these regulations are violated.
