The National Museum of Natural History has wheelchairs that may be borrowed, free of charge, for use within the building. The wheelchairs, which are all manually operated, may not be taken outside of the Museum. The wheelchairs are available on a first-come, first-served basis. To borrow a wheelchair, go to the Museum's information desk and request a loaner. The information desk attendant may help you directly or send you to the nearby Security Desk. You will be asked to leave identification until you return the wheelchair. If you prefer to rent a wheelchair for all-day use between museums, vendors in the area can assist you. The above goes for most of the Smithsonian museums.
