The Mechanical Hall Study Room is located within Mechanical Hall Gallery<\/a> –\u00a0 towards the back of the main entrance gallery to the west, through a glass door. When the galleries are open, please see the gallery attendant on duty for assistance and with questions you might have about these spaces. <\/span><\/p>\n
