This week our construction team was busy finishing the ledge removal to make way for the elevator. The team also had the masons out on site to create a sample brickwork for comparison. Can you spot the subtle design detail in the brickwork?

In other news, we’re excited to announce the public launch of our Access for All & More Campaign! For over 100 years, the Somerville Museum has held space for the stories that shape our collective history. As we pivoted throughout the pandemic, we considered how to grow through this time of crisis to better serve the community. We are proud to announce the launch of our Access for All & More Campaign, which will enable us to make critical upgrades to our historic building and will increase accessibility to our programming, website and museum community as a whole. Join us in creating the space that will tell our stories for the next 100 years. 

This launch is happening this weekend along with Somerville Open Studios. In honor of the launch the Museum will be open both Saturday and Sunday and we’ll have a social media promotion for some neat new t-shirts. All you need to do: 

1. Take a selfie at the Museum during SOS weekend 
2. Post on social media using hashtags #somervillemuseum #accessforall
3. Tag 2 friends that live in Somerville

OR, you can skip the posting and donate $50 (minimum) to the Access for All & More campaign and receive a free T-shirt!
