Winterthur, like other cultural institutions, exists for the enrichment of all, said Chris Strand, the Charles F. Montgomery director and CEO of Winterthur. As we rebound from the pandemic, we want to give our community the opportunity to engage in safe, healthy, and fun activities at a time when they need it most. We want to make sure Everyone, with a capital E, can experience the best museums have to offer. Museums for All helps expand access to museums and raises public awareness about how museums in the United States reach their entire communities. It offers similar free and reduced admission to eligible members of the public at more than 900 museums across the country.
