Backpacks, shopping bags, and all other large bags are not allowed inside the galleries, but guests are welcome to drop them off at MOAD’s coat check, found at the Welcome Desk on the second floor. Staff members may refuse to accept other coat check items at their discretion, and MOAD is not responsible for items held at coat check.
