Aldrich at Home
As you may already be aware, the State of Connecticut is planning for a gradual reopening and has tentatively declared that on May 20 certain businesses may start to resume operations, including the outdoor spaces of museums. We’re pleased that you’ve been visiting our Sculpture Garden and hope that you continue to do so, especially with the warmer weather, while practicing social distancing and other state guidelines. As we know more about our plans to reopen we’ll be sure to keep you informed through our website, social media channels, and signage on our grounds. As always, for the latest Museum news, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
