And now they have to take a full inventory.
Attendance in May exceeded last year’s by 80 percent, said museum director Lori Mannel. She attributes increased public interest in the museum’s programs for children and adults.
Its Science Saturdays bring scientific experts from throughout the region to the museum, other programs feature artists demonstrating their work and techniques and authors lecture on their books. The restoration of the Native Plant Garden was completed in April. These events have advanced the museum’s role as “a living field guide for the Central Coast,” Mannel said. “We’re becoming a regional resource.”
Artists demonstrating their work. Authors lecturing on their books. How many of these visits have nothing related to a museum? Sustainable P.G. kooks lapping up Dan Cort rewriting the history of his failures should not count as visits to view natural history.
Let’s give out free beer at the Mvsevm during the farmers market and we can quadruple attendance.
