Federal Triangle is a transfer stop on DC Metro (Silver, Orange, Blue), with 3 elevators and 9 escalators in the published inventory. This page shows whether those elevators look usable right now, using the same Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) feed as the live map.

On the Silver Line, the previous stop is Metro Center and the next is Smithsonian. If the elevator here is out and you can ride one more stop, check those stations or the live map before you go.

When a museum names the Metro station it prefers, that is its accessibility advice. A station that is just “nearby” is not the same thing.
