Once you reach Sheldon Avenue, turn left (if coming from Wealthy) or right (if coming from Fulton) and continue walking until you see the museum on your left at 11 Sheldon Ave NE. The walk should take approximately 15-20 minutes depending on your starting point. Make sure to look out for signs directing you towards the museum.
