OMG do u remember when we used 2 text lyke this?!!! XDDD

We've made a lot of improvements since the early 2000s, and not just in the way we type. King Manor has made huge improvements, opening up a whole other floor of period rooms and exhibit space and hosting tons of free or low-cost community events. Please help us continue to offer free and modern educational programs to our community by supporting our Giving 2sday campaign!

⚠️NEW ART SHOW ALERT! ⚠️

This exhibition highlights the resilience and creativity of present and past museum workers by giving a platform to explore the state of the field.

Museum workers engage with art, history, science, and culture on display in their respective institutions, yet very often do not have the opportunity to display their own work. Come see it on view now until the spring!

The art on view was created by museum workers from all over the tri-state area. Whether professionally trained or using art as an outlet to express their creativity, these professionals – educators, curators, visitor service representatives, caretakers, administrators, shipping assistants, etc.-- share their personal experiences and identity as museum workers through the medium of painting, sculpture, photography, fiber art, collage, and ceramics.
