A NOTE ABOUT OUR ONLINE MUSEUM SHOP: We are in the process of building a new Online Museum Shop, which includes all adult program and event tickets. The Shopify system we have switched to offers a more streamlined process than our previous Online Shop. One of our wonderful interns will be updating the new Shop’s design over the next month, so pardon our dust. Please be assured that the site is secure and don’t hesitate to contact us at 828.253.3227 with any questions or concerns.
