Wondering what the museum's schedule is for the rest of December? Here it is!

Sunday, December 14, OPEN 10 am to 3 pm
Sunday, December 21, OPEN 10 am to 3 pm
Sunday, December 28, OPEN 10 am to 3 pm

Notice a pattern?

And yes, we're open on Sunday, January 4th and so on.

Tours usually take most of 2 hours (sometimes more if you are very technical) so best to arrive by by 1 pm at the latest.
