Programs

Everyone is invited to enjoy a variety of professional musicians who will play a wide array of classical music from the past through current incarnations in the museum’s Adirondack Hall at Colvin Tower. 

This program is sponsored by The Albany Musicians Association, Local 14 of the American Federation of Musicians—a union of dedicated professional musicians covering every genre of music. Its members can be seen playing in concerts, clubs, weddings, parades, musicals, and symphony orchestras, both locally and beyond.

Join us for an exciting day of activities celebrating the amazing women scientists working at the New York State Museum! We bring you this program honoring the women working in a variety of scientific discliplines right here in downtown Albany. Lectures, “Ask the Scientist” sessions, and scientific activities will be happening throughout the day. 

The day includes hands-on activities that allow YOU to be the scientist. Examine specimens from our collections and ask questions of the women working in science at the edge of human discovery and preserving the wealth of knowledge in museum collections.  Cultural Anthropology, Bioarchaeology, Archeology, Malacology, Botany, Geology and Paleontology are some of the fields represented in this amazing all-day extravaganza!
