VISITING THE CHINATI FOUNDATION

The Chinati Foundation's collection is housed in fifteen buildings spread over a campus of 340 acres and located in the arid, high Chihuahuan desert. Access to the collection requires spending significant amounts of time outdoors in the sun and travelling distances from 0.5 mile to 1.5 miles on terrain that often includes uneven, thorny, or rock covered ground. Please dress comfortably and sensibly for the climate and landscape. Open-toe shoes and sandals are not recommended.

The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday. Works by Donald Judd are available for self-guided viewing and are also included on all guided tours. The rest of the collection is accessible by guided tour only. Reservations are required to guarantee admission. Please see tour selections below and reserve your ticket online here.

Chinati can be challenging for people who have difficulty walking or need special assistance. Please contact the museum at tours@chinati.org in advance and we'll be happy to make arrangements as needed.

SELF-GUIDED VIEWINGS OF DONALD JUDD'S WORK
