Due to our new museum building project and various programmatic obligations, from time to time, we will be closing the administrative office and research facility. If you have plans to visit us for research purposes and don't have a flexible schedule, please let us know when you will be here so we can ensure that someone will be available to assist you. We appreciate your cooperation.-JHHSM Staff
