Duke Energy Funds Two More Years of Free Tuesdays at The Schiele Museum
Free Museum Admission Available to the Public in 2024/2025
GASTONIA, N.C., Dec. 14, 2023 - Thanks to generous support from Duke Energy, The Schiele Museum of Natural History is proud to offer monthly Free Tuesdays to the public for two more years! Museum admission continues to be free and available to all visitors from 4:00 – 8:00 PM on the second Tuesday of each month in 2024 and 2025. In addition, Duke Energy and The Schiele will offer quarterly Power Up Learning programs during Free Tuesdays.
Visitors do not need reservations to enjoy free museum admission on Free Tuesdays. They should simply arrive between the hours of 4:00 and 8:00 PM on the second Tuesday of each month.
Schiele education staff will provide live interactive programming on a variety of topics once each quarter during Free Tuesdays. Power Up Learning will replace the free planetarium programs that were offered in 2023 and will be available starting in March 2024, on a first-come, first-served basis, with tickets open for reservations one week in advance.
“Duke Energy is proud to partner with The Schiele to offer Free Tuesdays and Power Up Learning through 2025. We are committed to providing opportunities for community education. The Schiele offers learning experiences that families can enjoy together, and we want those experiences to be accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay,” says Martha Wegner, Director of Government and Community Relations at Duke Energy.
