On Saturday, September 26, 2009, the Carnegie Center for Art and History in New Albany, Indiana will participate in the fifth annual Museum Day, presented by Smithsonian magazine. A celebration of culture, learning and the dissemination of knowledge, Smithsonian’s Museum Day reflects the spirit of the magazine and emulates the free-admission policy of the Smithsonian Institution’s Washington, DC-based properties. Last year, upwards of 200,000 people attended Museum Day, with all 50 states plus Puerto Rico represented by over 900 participating museums, including 84 Smithsonian affiliate museums. This year, the magazine expects to attract over 1,000 museums. “The Carnegie Center for Art and History is proud to participate in Museum Day 2009 in association with the venerable museums of the Smithsonian Institution,” said Laura Wilkins, Director of Marketing and Outreach at the Center. “Like the Smithsonian museums, the Carnegie Center offers free admission and programs year-round, and we look forward to recognizing Museum Day 2009 with our visitors.”
