Free Museum Admission Day

December 7 @ 11:00 am - 5:00 pm

Free

From 11 am to 5 pm Saturday, Dec. 7, all visitors will enjoy free admission to the Global Village Museum of Arts and Cultures.  Ringing in the New:  New Year Traditions Around the World in the Museum’s Main Gallery highlights the rich diversity of customs and practices that mark the universal occasion of the New Year.  In the Hall Gallery, Inmate Art from Larimer County Jail showcases the artwork of inmates who express their emotions and creativity through drawing and painting. The Museum Shop offers unique and affordable items for sale for all ages, and many of the items make excellent holiday gifts.  Examples include items made in Kampala, Uganda, by moms to earn money to send their children to school. The women use their tailoring skills to make beautiful items – such as aprons, placemats, and kitchen mitts – from Kitenge fabric with the vibrant colors and patterns of East Africa. The Museum Shop also carries Christmas ornaments, gorgeous jewelry, elegant wooden spoons made in Guatemala, colorful pillow covers, handmade clothing accessories, kitchenware, pottery, computer bags, dolls and figurines, books, woven baskets, and much more. The Global Village Museum is located at 200 West Mountain Avenue, and Museum hours are 11 am to 5 pm Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, visit globalvillagemuseum.org or call 970-221-4600.
