Once you've parked in the Cooper Street lot or the adjacent Embassy Parking Garage, all you need do is take a short but thoroughly enjoyable, scenic walk on the Landry footbridge across the Charles River, turning to your right (to the East) after you've crossed, and you'll see the Museum entrance about 100 yards ahead. Enjoy your walk along the Charles! -

Please note that the footbridge is clearly indicated on the map below, immediately above (north) of the Embassy Parking Facility.
