Bishop Museum to Participate in Smithsonian’s Museum Day September 29, 2007
Bishop Museum is pleased to announce it will be participating in Smithsonian Magazine’s nationwide Museum Day promotion on Saturday, September 29, 2007. Free Admission Cards admitting the bearer and one guest free of charge will be available in the September 2007 issue of Smithsonian Magazine or downloaded easily at www.smithsonianmagazine.com/museumday.
Museum Day celebrates the country’s cultural offerings, allows the dissemination of knowledge, and brings Americans together. Last year nearly 450 museums and cultural institutions nationwide participated in the effort, which emulates the Smithsonian’s Washington, D.C. year-round free admission policy. The complete list of participating museums across the nation is available at www.smithsonianmagazine.com.
Bishop Museum will be open September 29 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Museum Day Admission Card is good for one-day use only on September 29, 2007. The Admission Card will be collected upon entry and is redeemable for general admission for the presenter and one guest. Only one Admission Card per household is allowed. The Museum Day Admission Card may not be used with any other offer and no rain checks will be offered.
“We are proud to join the Smithsonian’s effort to promote awareness about the integrity, importance, and relevance of our nation’s cultural institutions,” says Michael Chinaka, Interim President of Bishop Museum.
