Additional information on parking is available from NYS OGS Parking Services.

Please Note: The museum does not have a free visitor parking lot and on street parking is very limited near the museum. In addition, we were not able to reserve parking spaces in advance for conference attendees in the underground plaza or the museum parking lots. Therefore, parking may be difficult to obtain in these lots especially after 10:00 a.m. However, there will be parking available in nearby pay lots, but please arrive early as some lots are located up to 15 minutes walking distance from the museum. Conference attendees are responsible for paying any parking fees.
