The gift will enable the museum to establish a endowment that will fund the admission waiver in perpetuity. The gift went into effect the day of the museum’s official announcement on December 3.
“It just is one of these gifts that I’m just beyond words, so deeply grateful, and so excited that this will impact generations of kids to come,” Amy Kirschke, the museum’s Barbara Brown Lee Chief Learning and Engagement Officer, told ARTnews. “It’s so exciting. It’s anonymous donor, but to the generosity of spirit, and having been inspired by their own childhood experiences at the museum, and wanting to share that with the community in perpetuity is again just such a tremendous gift.”
