The Hubbard Museum of the American West will again offer a series of family programs every Saturday beginning May 31st. “Saturdays at the Hubbard” will feature a variety of programming ranging from lectures, to music, to a partnership program with the New Mexico Museum of Space History. Each program is complimentary with the purchase of a regular admission ticket to the Museum.
“I’m very excited that we are offering the Saturday at the Hubbard programming series again this summer,” commented Jay Smith, Director of the Hubbard Museum, “We want to make sure we provided an excellent visitor experience for our out-of-town guests, as well as to provide an incentive for our local residents to come to the Museum every weekend. We have activities and presentations that appeal to everyone and each program will be entertaining as well as educational.
