It is exaclty one month to opening day of the Bloch Building (June 9)! Workers, staff members and volunteers are finishing up everything from installation of art to knowing the locations of bathrooms and elevators.
The events for opening weekend will include a brief dedication ceremony at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 9. Following that will be two days of fun including music, art activities, dancers, strolling entertainers and a lecture by Chris McVoy of Steven Holl Architects. Of course, it will all be topped off by hot dogs, ice cream and other all-American refreshments.
In addition to all the events, the Museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. both days. Admission to the featured exhibtions and parking in the garage will be absolutely FREE. There will also be free shuttles from nearby parking.
