Thank you for making Museum Day 2009 such a huge success! Please check back for information on Museum Day 2010.
Until then, check out our participating museums and upcoming events on our Twitter page.
The museum tells the unique story of the people of Cape Verde. Men and women from this West African island nation migrated to New England beginning in the 1800s. They brought with them a unique culture- part African, part European and have continued to have strong bonds with their mother country to this day.
Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
