The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum will have new and extended gallery hours in May, including free guided tours and family workshops on the third Saturday of every month.
The museum is able to provide these services due to a $5,000 donation from the Fairfield County Bank.
The new hours, which take effect on May 4, will be 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Monday, and Wednesday through Saturday, and Sunday hours will remain noon-5 p.m.
The free guided tour on Mondays and the third Saturday of every month will be held from 1-2 p.m., and the third Saturday family workshops will go from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
And from Memorial Day through Labor Day, the museum will be open until 7 p.m. on Fridays, and the “First Fridays” contemporary cocktail series will also continue through the summer, offering music and refreshments on the patio at sunset.
