Demuth Museum of Art on King

The Demuth Museum of Art on King resides in the historic home and studio of Charles Demuth. There are two steps (one 6 inches tall, one 8 inches tall) to enter the first floor of the museum. A visitor restroom is available on the first floor, which is not currently wheelchair accessible. The second floor of the museum is currently accessible by the original wooden 13-step staircase. The top 3 steps of the staircase are curved to create a 90 degree turn. There is also a step between our Permanent Collection Gallery and the staircase landing. An alternative 13-step staircase with wider steps and no turn, with an additional step from the staircase landing to the second floor gallery, is available for visitors to use upon request - please ask the staff member at the front desk for access. At this time, the building is not equipped with elevator access.

Audio captions in English and Spanish are included in the Charles Demuth film on view in our Permanent Collection Gallery. A large print hard copy of the video transcript is available next to the video monitor at the museum. A video transcript is also available to read on our website.
