Directions & Parking

Kentucky Building/Kentucky Museum visitor parking is available in the "Kentucky Building Lot" adjacent to the Kentucky Museum and in the "Kentucky Museum Lot" across the street (near the DG Market). Museum visitor spaces in both these lots are clearly marked. Museum visitors must sign the parking log at the Museum's front desk, and will be asked for car make, model and license number for parking control.

From South of Campus:

Follow University Blvd. with Diddle Arena on the right. Go straight through the light at University Blvd. and College Heights. Kentucky Museum/Kentucky Building is on the right--just past the DG Market on the left.

From North of Campus:

Follow Old Louisville Road/Duncan Hines Hwy. and the road changes to Adams Street. Continue on Adams approximately 1.5 miles. Look for Adams Street Lot on the left across from Textbook Brokers. Visitor spaces are all the way across the lot near Kentucky Street and are marked with "Kentucky Museum Visitor" signs.
