We are open to the public. Access is free. Just request a Researcher’s Pass at the Perelman Building entrance.
Materials require advance paging, which occurs twice daily (once in the morning and in the afternoon). Feel free to call in advance so that your research can begin as soon as you arrive.
Located at the intersection of Pennsylvania and Fairmount Avenues, the Perelman Building is a short walk from the main building. Inside its Art Deco exterior, you’ll find cutting-edge photography, fashion, and contemporary art and design.
