Amenities Galore! Museums Are Upping the Extras But to What End?

…Supporting the Bruce Museum’s community-focused programs is the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation, which also is based in Greenwich and has given $565,280 to the museum since 2003, $132,500 of which was awarded in 2016. That funding underwrites a variety of outreach programs, including transportation costs for school children visiting the museum, an enrichment program for at-risk and low-income K-12 students, a paid after-school program for high school students interested in learning how museums work, as well as school vacation and family workshops.
