FREESeaside Museum Open House for International Museum Day
The Seaside Museum and Historical Society (SMHS) shares International Museum Day with the public each year by offering free admission. Marking the day this year on Saturday May 21, 2016, SMHS will host an open house from 1:00pm to 4:00pm which will also include tours, activities, refreshments and door prizes. In addition, the museum building will be named to honor Helen Gaston who has been the major force behind the museum. The building dedication will occur at 1:30pm.
The theme of 2016 International Museum Day is “Museums and Cultural Landscapes”. The cultural landscape is defined as “the country where we live, which surrounds us with the images and symbols that identify and characterize it”. According to this vision, the landscape is considered as the context – geographic, historical, economic, social and cultural – which creates our heritage. The main mission of museums is to oversee the safekeeping and protection of the heritage that lies both within and beyond their walls.
