Extended Evening Hours Return to the Toledo Museum of Art
The Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) will implement new hours of
operation beginning Nov. 20, including extended evening
hours on Fridays and Saturdays. The new hours are intended
to better serve the public and increase accessibility for
visitors with varied schedules. The change comes after TMA's
hours were reduced in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
"Bringing back evening hours
has been a goal since TMA began to gradually reopen to the
public on June 23," said Rebecca Nowacki, the Museum's
visitor engagement manager. "With the changing of the season
and two new major exhibitions opening in the coming weeks,
it's a good time to expand our hours and welcome more
visitors."
Starting Friday, Nov. 20,
TMA will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays,
Thursdays and Sundays and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Fridays
and Saturdays. The Museum will be closed on Mondays and
Tuesdays as well as major holidays.
The change in hours
coincides with the openings of Radical Tradition: American
Quilts and Social Change and Telling Stories: Resilience and
Struggle in Contemporary Narrative Drawing. Member previews
for both exhibitions will take place Friday, Nov. 20, from 4
to 8 p.m. The exhibitions will open to the public Saturday,
Nov. 21, at 11 a.m. Information about the exhibitions is
available at toledomuseum.org/art/exhibitions
Guests are no longer required to
reserve a museum pass in advance of their visit but are
required to register at the Information Desk when they
arrive. TMA has developed an extensive Q&A about reopening
that may be accessed at: toledomuseum.org/reopen. In
addition, Visitor Services staff may be reached by phone at
(419) 255-8000 ext. 7448. |
