After careful consideration and discussion, the Museum has decided to protect against the spread of COVID-19 by postponing all public events and programs through March. The Museum will remain open starting Tuesday, March 17 during regular hours. We will continue to monitor the Westchester County Department of Health, CDC and other local and regional sources and we will issue updates as necessary.
Please be assured that the safety of our staff and visitors is our highest priority and that we are taking additional steps to maintain best hygiene practices while open to the public. This includes regular stepped up sanitizing of public surfaces, bathrooms, doors and other high touch areas. We are also adding signage throughout the Museum noting best practices to prevent the contraction or spread of COVID-19. We also ask that any staff or visitors who are exhibiting signs of fever or respiratory infection please do not visit the Museum until they have been cleared by a medical professional.
It is our hope and expectation that we will be able to find alternate dates for these postponed events and will continue to explore those possibilities in light of developments over the coming weeks. We will keep you informed and please check our website for more information.
Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment this may cause and thank you for understanding our prioritizing your safety and the safety of our community.
