The entrance is off Massachusetts Avenue, making it practical for drivers heading straight to the museum rather than searching through nearby residential streets (american.edu). Parking is available from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. seven days per week (american.edu). The garage charges $2 per hour, with applicable fees, and payment is handled through self-service kiosks (american.edu). American University states that free weekend and evening parking is no longer offered, so visitors arriving outside weekday daytime periods should budget for the posted garage charge (american.edu). The official visitor information identifies the underground garage as the on-site parking facility, with no capacity figure provided. ## Nearby Parking Choices Around AUMK and Ward 3 Drivers who prefer to park away from the museum garage can use a Parksy secure [monthly parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/find-monthly-parking-near-me-practical-guide) lot in Washington, DC, 0.4 mi from the site, priced at $150 a month. A garage at 4200 Wisconsin is 0.6 mi away and costs $2.75 an hour, offering a useful alternative for a shorter visit. A secure garage in Washington, DC is 1.3 mi away and priced at $11 a day. These spaces are better suited to drivers who are comfortable adding a longer walk or arranging onward transport after parking. Show map of Tenleytown ## Busy Times and Street Parking Near Massachusetts Avenue Northwest The site’s garage operates throughout the week, but weekend and evening visits now require paid parking because American University no longer offers [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) during those periods (american.edu). The museum is in Ward 3, near Tenleytown, on Massachusetts Avenue Northwest. The official visitor information places the garage entrance off Massachusetts Avenue, while the published parking guidance focuses on the university facility rather than offering a separate street-parking arrangement (american.edu). Drivers using surrounding streets should follow the posted restrictions and meters, especially near university buildings and residential blocks. ## Parksy Spaces Within Reach of the American University Museum at the Katzen The closest priced Parksy option is a secure monthly parking lot in Washington, DC, 0.4 mi from AUMK, at $150 a month. The 4200 Wisconsin garage is 0.6 mi away and costs $2.75 an hour, which can suit a visit that does not justify a monthly commitment. Two spaces are listed 1.0 mi away: monthly parking in Washington, DC for $247 a month and Washington National Cathedral garage parking for $6 an hour. A secure Washington, DC garage is 1.3 mi away at $11 a day. The spaces spread the choice between monthly parking, hourly garage use and a daily rate, although each requires more distance from the museum than the on-site garage. ## Walking and Rail Access From Tenleytown–AU Station Tenleytown–AU Station is the nearest rail stop, 0.7 mi from AUMK and about a 16-minute walk. The route brings visitors into Ward 3 near Tenleytown without needing to find a space at the university, which can be useful when the garage is busy or a visit falls during paid evening and weekend hours. The museum is 0.8 mi from Tenleytown center, so visitors combining rail travel with local errands can treat the station and center as separate walking reference points. Drivers using one of the Parksy spaces farther from the site should allow additional walking beyond the distances listed for parking, particularly for the options at 1.0 mi and 1.3 mi.
