Parking

Metered spaces are available on the streets surrounding the Museum and in designated areas within the parking lot adjacent to the Museum on Oregon Street. There are a small number of metered spaces for handicapped parking permits.

Parking is free at non-metered spaces in University parking lots on weekdays after 5:00 pm and weekends.

Individuals or groups visiting on the weekend can park for free in UI lot D22 (behind the museum) in non-reserved spaces.

Bus Parking

The Museum cannot help arrange parking or assist with any tickets incurred. Meters must be paid even if the parked vehicle is attended by a driver. Bus parking may be pre-arranged to guarantee a space, but it must be paid for in advance at a higher cost. Contact the University's Parking Department for bus parking at the State Farm Center. Contact the City of Urbana to have meters bagged in front of the Museum.
