Please note: The Museum's elevator is currently out of service, and we unfortunately do not expect it to be back in operation by this Saturday, March 25.
The Museum will be open to the public on Saturday 3/25 for our usual hours from 12-5pm, but guests will not have access to the elevator. We are working hard to get it fixed and will share an update as soon as possible. Our sincere apologies, as it is very important to us that the Museum is accessible to ALL members of our community.
