Grand Opening Celebration Days will be held on Fridays in November, excluding the week of Thanksgiving. On November 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd, the museum will offer extended hours, opening from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Admission is free.

This event features an open-house format, allowing attendees to explore exhibits at their own pace from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. Guided behind-the-scenes tours led by museum staff will also be available throughout the day.
