50% Off General Admission – Tours on the hour, Noon, 1, 2 & 3pm
As part of the Connecticut’s 9th Annual Open House Day on Saturday, June 8th, the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum will be offering a 50% discounted admission to its tours and exhibits. The Museum is open from noon to 4:00 pm on June 8.
Connecticut’s Open House Day is an annual event that encourages residents to explore the state’s exciting destinations and attractions by offering special incentives on that day. More than 200 arts, history and tourism attractions throughout the state are participating. Visitors are encouraged to explore the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum’s two current exhibits.  What Is It? Technologies and Discoveries of the Victorian Era features 19th century technological and scientific marvels of the Mansion’s heyday. Steampunk: Nature & Machine features art with a neo-retro aesthetic that borrows imagery from the Industrial Revolution and Victorian eras. For Connecticut Open House Day, the Mansion’s entry fee is a reduced $5 for adults (regularly priced at $10), $3 for children 8-18, and children under 8 are admitted free.
The What Is It? exhibit is made possible thanks to a grant from theConnecticut Humanities (CTH), a non-profit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities that funds, creates and collaborates on hundreds of cultural programs across Connecticut each year. CTH brings together people of all ages and backgrounds to express, share and explore ideas in thoughtful and productive ways. From local discussion groups to major exhibitions on important historical events, CTH programs engage, enlighten and educate. Learn more by visiting http://www.cthumanities.org/.
The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum’s 2013 cultural and educational programs are made possible by generous funding from the LMMM Distinguished Benefactors: The Xerox Foundation, Klaff’s, Mrs. Cynthia C. Brown and The Maurice Goodman Foundation. The Museum’s Education Program is made possible in part by a generous donation from AT&T.
