The Claremont Museum of Art will discontinue operation in The Packing House
The Claremont Museum of Art will discontinue operation in The Packing House and place the permanent collection in a secure storage facility.
The museum will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Dec. 26 and 27. A phone fund raiser to cover 2010 operations received more than 50 pledges totalling $26,255. But the amount only helps the museum stay open six more weeks.
"Without any immediate prospects for additional donations, we don't see any way to continue operation in The Packing House location," according to a news release from the Claremont Museum of Art.
So pledges will not be collected according to the release but "our debts are not yet fully paid and there will be additional costs to move out of our current location, so we are asking our supporters to turn all or part of their pledge into a donation."
