Court remains open to visitors

The National Zoo, the Smithsonian, and the monuments may all be closed this week, but the Court remains open to visitors from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.  Visitor attractions this week include the historical displays prepared by the Court’s curator, a twenty-four-minute film on the Court’s history, and thirty-minute lectures in the courtroom by the curator’s staff, and a gift shop operated by the Supreme Court Historical Society.  Next week, visitors may also attend oral arguments; seating for those is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.  More information about visiting the Court is available on the Court’s website.
