We are the first museum to offer this opportunity to visit our museum.
Through the generous underwriting of HBKS Wealth, we are going to offer the entire first quarter of the year as Pay What You Wish for all Erie County residents.
How Pay What You Wish works: If an Erie County resident can only afford a dollar or even less, that’s OK. They’ll have full access to the entire museum.
This offer is available during the first quarter ONLY.
This is a pilot program to stimulate local visitation and enable everyone to visit our museum. Innumerable national museums offer similar PWYW programs, but not like our entire 3-month period.
What will guests see?
Our newest exhibits include:
Made You Look: Erie signs with plenty of history and nostalgia
100 Years of the Erie Zoo: it roars with memories
Triggering History: Legacy of Erie firearms (opens in January)
