State Museum opening Sundays again

posted Aug 15, 2012 at 3:25 PM

NYSED announced today that the State Museum will once again be open on Sundays, starting September 16. Sunday hours were eliminated in 2011 because of budget cuts. Before that, Sundays had represented about 20 percent of the museum's attendance, according to the press release. The trade-off for being open the full weekend: the museum will be closed to public on Mondays. (That's not a bad trade.)

Comments

This is great news! I would imagine that Saturdays and Sundays would be the most popular days for locals to visit the museum.

I agree: this is the best news I've heard in awhile.

It's a colossal social failure that starts with the breakdown of families and then circles back around to more breakdown of families. I've lived next to drop-outs, and I've seen firsthand the lack of parenting that sends the signal, passed from generation to generation. No magical teacher or administrator is going to reach down and counter that effect.
