Macbride Hall has elevator accessibility through an entrance on the east side of Macbride Hall, adjacent to the stairs leading up to our main entrance. This elevator provides access to all Museum galleries. 

Please note that the aisle through the balcony of Macbride Auditorium, which is often used for university classes, is the only path between the elevator and Hageboeck Hall of Birds on the north end of the third floor. Visitors who need to use the elevator are always allowed to cross the auditorium, even during classes.  If this is a critical issue for you, please email us at uimnh@uiowa.edu or call 319-335-1508, and our staff can inform you about the auditorium schedule and help you plan your visit to the museum.

Passenger drop-off: There is a passenger loading/unloading zone on Jefferson St., just north of the museum. Please do not park or leave vehicles unattended in the loading zones, and do not block the bus stop, but feel free to use it for ease of drop-off/pick-up.
