Currently, MoMath requires all visitors to wear a mask and, for those ages five and up, to show acceptable proof of full vaccination (two doses) against COVID-19.  (MoMath does not accept digital images or photocopies of vaccination cards.)  Starting on September 3, MoMath will no longer require visitors to show proof of vaccination; however, visitors will still be required to wear masks in the Museum at all times.
