The Museums at W&L consist of three sites which also serve as reservable space for the W&L community and, in the case of the University Chapel and Galleries, sponsored external groups. If you are interested in holding an event in one of the Museums spaces, please review our site descriptions below, as well as our University Facilities Use Policy, our University Chapel Use Guidelines, and our Fees page.
