The excitement continues to build as we move steps closer to the Grand Re-opening of the Delmarva Discovery Museum on May 30th! See the attached flyer. With just five weeks to go, the transformation happening behind our doors is nothing short of inspiring.  

​

Our staff and volunteers are hard at work, ensuring that every guest - whether it’s their first visit or their hundredth - will walk into a space that feels vibrant, engaging, and welcoming. The anticipation is growing, and we can’t wait to share what’s been taking shape.

​

This week, lots of painting and moving of exhibits were completed to bring new energy into the Museum experience. From refreshed exhibit spaces to behind-the-scenes improvements that will enhance every visit, each detail is being thoughtfully prepared with our community in mind.  

​

We are thrilled to welcome four new Board members during the last three weeks: Keith Hornberger, Tom Terry, Cass Mullen, and Linda Johnson.  We’re looking forward to the fresh perspectives, creativity, and energy these four will add to our Board.

​

At our regular monthly Board meeting on April 20th, we continued redefining and staffing our Board committees, we reviewed plans for new signage for our building, and we set the stage for an off-cycle election of officers at a special Board meeting on April 27th. 

​

Our new “Friends of the Museum” Advisory Council met for the first time this week.  Starting next week, the Council will begin offering thoughtful, impactful recommendations to the Museum’s Board and staff.  Sarah Brinton, Chair of the Advisory Council, stated: “We will provide counsel, network, and long-term sustainability assistance for the Delmarva Discovery Museum.  We understand that there is no long-term without a short-term.  Therefore, we will offer immediate support to DDM staff and Board to ensure that our May 30 re-opening event is a memorable community celebration."

​

To our members and our broader community: your support has carried us to this moment. Because of you, we will be opening our doors soon as a strong, sustainable organization with an enhanced Museum experience, both of which will continue to improve. We hope that you can sense the excitement building - because this reopening is as much yours as it is ours.

​

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks next week as we get even closer to re-opening day. The countdown is on!
