Group Dining

We have encountered exceptionally long wait times for groups to get their lunch at our Manna restaurant. In our effort to serve all visitors with excellence, groups may no longer eat at Manna. In the interest of serving our groups, however, you do have the option to purchase our box lunches to eat elsewhere in the museum. Alternatively, you may eat at nearby restaurants. Thank you for your understanding.
