The Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) is making some changes this summer to encourage visitors to take in the full range of exhibits.
Jacques Lavergne, CMHR’s vice-president of visitor experience and engagement, said Thursday the museum is expanding its hours and offering new two-day tickets.
“Many out-of-town visitors have told us that one day is not enough time to explore everything they want to see in the museum,” he said.
“A two-day ticket will allow them to journey through the galleries at their leisure, with time for rest breaks, lunch and browsing in the boutique.”
The two-day tickets – which will be available as of Saturday – will be available for $30 for consecutive days, vs. a single-day price of $21.
That’s not the only change to the museum’s summer programming, however.
