Visit the lab
We welcome all members of the public and the CU Boulder community to visit the lab in person. If you’d like to keep up with MAL events and news, please sign up for our mailing list or follow us on Mastodon, bluesky and Instagram.
Please check our Mastodon for up-to-date hours and emergency closures. Keep in mind that we are largely volunteer-run, and sometimes things happen that are outside our control.
If you would like to visit with a class or a group larger than 8, contact us to schedule. Because of limited space and staffing we need at least two weeks notice to accommodate class and group tours. Please also contact us prior to assigning students to visit during open house hours. We really appreciate advance warning when our open house hours will be busier than usual.
If you would like to schedule a virtual tour or request further information, contact us at mediaarchaeology+tours@colorado.edu
Parking directly next to the lab is permit-only and the university does issue parking tickets. If you are driving, you can find parking in the garage for the Limelight Hotel at 1243 Grandview Avenue; there is also paid street parking one block south of us on University Avenue. It is also often possible to find free street parking 2-3 blocks away, west of Broadway Avenue on both University and Grandview Avenues.
