Photography on Minnesota Marine Art Museum Grounds

During Open Hours (10 am - 5 pm)

Professional or commercial-use photography requires a photography permit. There is no associated fee for a permit during open hours, but photographers must sign a liability waiver. Permits and waivers may be picked up and submitted at the front desk. Please observe the following rules:

  • Stay on the garden paths or pavement at all times. Our gardens include the native prairie grasses, and any trampled grasses will be considered property damage. Do not pick flowers or other vegetation.

  • Please note you are being video recorded by security cameras.

  • Permits allow for the limited use of public spaces only.

  • Photography must not be disruptive to other visitors or block walkways.

  • Publicly shared photos must credit the Minnesota Marine Art Museum as the location.

Groups larger than five people must request a group photography permit through MMAM’s Events department in advance. Contact MMAM’s Enterprise Manager Carrie Frederich, cfrederich@mmam.org or 507.474.1046. Additional fees may apply.
