    • CDC recommends that even fully vaccinated people should still get tested if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.

MASKS RECOMMENDED: Masks are strongly recommended indoors for everyone. Hollyhock House has tight, interior spaces where social distancing isn’t fully feasible. When possible, please maintain distance from visitors not in your party.

 

WHAT WE ARE DOING TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE:

All staff and volunteers are required to comply with the City of Los Angeles’ vaccination requirements for municipal employees, and stay at home if they are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms. 

Hand-sanitizer stations are available for all to use while onsite.

We are limiting capacity and utilizing timed tickets to allow for greater social distancing.

We are opening more outdoor spaces for public tours than ever before, expanding areas to explore, and enhancing air flow indoors.  

In addition to our printed guidebook, a free digital version can be used on visitors’ own personal smart devices.

The safety of our visitors, staff, and volunteers is our top priority. Due to the ever-changing health and safety guidelines and the small, intimate nature of the museum, all policies will be re-evaluated on a regular basis and updated as needed. All information is subject to change.

Please understand that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present.
