Parking

A parking deck is being constructed on 58th Avenue across from the Museum.  This is an exciting addition to downtown Glendale but provides a temporary challenge.  Several free parking lots can be found a block or two from the Museum.  Please refer to this aerial photo for guidance.  Thank you for your patience! 

  Click on photo to enlarge.  The green block is the Museum.  The red block is the closest available lot away from the Museum.  Red outlines indicate additional public parking areas.  Street parking is also available throughout the downtown area.
