RTPI To Hold Museum Day Saturday

The Roger Tory Peterson Institute will be open free of charge to all Museum Day ticket holders on Saturday, as part of Smithsonian magazine’s 15th annual Museum Day.

Museum Day represents a nationwide commitment to access, equity and inclusion. Over 450,000 tickets were downloaded for last year’s event, and Museum Day 2019 is expected to attract more museumgoers than ever before.

This year, Museum Day will celebrate the Smithsonian Year of Music, an institution-wide initiative celebrating the Smithsonian’s vast musical collections and resources through 365 days of music-related programming. Music is not only a reflection of human creativity and innovation, but also a key method of communication and cross-cultural exchange and understanding. The Smithsonian Year of Music crosses disciplines, bringing together music-related resources in art, history, culture, science and education.

“We are excited participate in Smithsonian Museum Day again in 2019! This is an important opportunity for us to open our galleries to visitors free of charge, and share our incredible building, exhibitions, and stories of Roger Tory Peterson’s life and work,” said Jane Johnson, RTPI’s director of exhibitions and marketing.
