Expanding Museum access for summer visitors

6/9/2017

For years, the Museum's "pay as you wish" hour took place on Sunday mornings from 10-11am. The only problem was that not very many people took advantage of that hour, surprisingly. Our staff felt the offer ultimately did not boost visitation, even though we intended to make sure there were no economic barriers to museum visitation. 

This summer, we're changing things up to try to encourage more Long Islanders to visit. From July through August, our galleries will be staying open late from 5-7pm, with admission by donation. We hope both Long Islanders and visitors will make the time to visit to explore one of the most amazing phases in Long Island history. 

In non-summer months, the museum will also offer a pay-as-you-wish day on the first Wednesday of the month from 12-4pm. 

Will our experiment of "Welcome Wednesdays" work? We'll see - - and we hope to see you there!
