Kristine’s post made me wonder
if anyone offers a “wrap around” admission – ie, come after a certain hour, and
your admission is good for the end of that day and all of the next day.
We don’t – all our tours are
guided, so you either make the last tour (one hour before closing) or you come
back another day.

We stop selling admissions 45
minutes prior to closing. Sometimes people argue with us and want to get in for
free if they come after that time, but it really does take more than 45 minutes
to really enjoy the museum, so we invite them to “come back tomorrow”. Our
hours of operation and admission sales are indicated on a large sign outside of
our front entrance.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Posted Closing Time versus Admission
I’m wondering how others handle the sale of admissions
as your closing time approaches.
1)
Do you sell admissions right up to the posted closing
time, or do you cut off admissions prior to the posted time? For example,
if you close at 6, and someone walks in at 5:55, do you allow them through your
museum?
2)
If not, how long is the window when you do not sell
admissions?
3)
If you cut admissions off prior to closing time, is
that posted anywhere?
