Elsewhere Museum

Elsewhere Museum Elsewhere is a world renowned artist residency and museum set inside a former thrift store. Be safe!

The museum will not have regular open hours until Spring - both out of caution for COVID and to allow us time to plan and make exciting changes to the museum. We will be open by appointment for private tours and visits with advance notice (contact [email protected]), as well as select small in-person events. We require masks and social distancing, and strongly recommend vaccinations. Sign

up for our mailing list or follow us on social media () for invitations to upcoming in-person and virtual events.
