In the interests of the health of our visitors, volunteers and staff, the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum has decided to temporarily close to the public. This closure will remain in effect through March and may be extended, based on an assessment at that time. During this period, the staff will be working remotely to productively utilize this time and prepare for an exciting and active Spring. Office response to inquiries will remain uninterrupted and the implementation of some facility projects will continue, wherever possible. We extend our concern for the well-being of our museum community, our neighbors and the Greater Boston area, during this confusing time. However, we remain confident that we will emerge from this public health emergency, ready and able to continue to provide the top-quality educational programs and unique tours that the public has come to expect.

Virtual Waterworks Tour At 12:30 pm EST each Wednesday, we will live stream a tour of the virtual model of our museum on our Facebook.com/MetroWaterworks page.
