Embark on a journey of discovery during New York State Museum Week; More than 200 Museums participating in first-ever celebration, May 31 – June 6
The North Star Underground Railroad Museum is one of our many local museums
New York State is celebrating the diversity and richness of its museums by inviting residents and visitors alike to discover the fascinating worlds of art, photography, history, science, pop-culture and more. From May 31 to June 6, more than 200 museums across the state will be part of the inaugural New York State Museum Week and will be offering special events, activities and promotions to give guests a sample of the exhibitions and programs available at the nearly 2,000 museums located throughout New York.
“As the summer season kicks into gear and vacation ideas come to mind, let’s not forget the wonderful resources we have in our own ‘backyards’, especially our museums,” said Senator Betty Little. “One needn’t travel far for a culturally and educationally enriching experience. New York’s diverse array of museums, historic homes, zoos and botanical gardens offer something for everyone and every family. Celebrating Museum Week will be fun; I look forward to seeing this promotional effort grow in the years ahead and thank I LOVE NY for their work in putting this together.”
