January 18, 2019Museum to Offer Free Admission to Furloughed Federal Employees
Effective immediately, the Albany Institute of History & Art will offer free admission to furloughed federal employees impacted by the government shutdown. Federal employees must present a valid government identification card at the admission desk and will receive free admission for themselves and up to three guests.
“The shutdown is challenging for federal employees, including many of our Capital Region neighbors,” says Tammis K. Groft, executive director at the Albany Institute of History & Art. “We hope that this small gesture will be something positive for workers and an opportunity to explore new things, connect with art, and make good memories.”
The offer will continue for the duration of the shutdown.
