Everhart Museum Expands Summer Hours Amid Increased Attendance from 'The Office' and NASA Exhibits
The Everhart Museum in Scranton is expanding its summer hours and launching new events in response to a significant increase in attendance and revenue. This surge is attributed to the popularity of 'The Office' exhibition, which opened last October, and a NASA display that began in January. The museum will now be open on Memorial Day, July 4, and Labor Day, days it was traditionally closed. Starting May 28, the museum will extend its Thursday hours until 7 p.m., featuring entertainment and a cash bar. The 'Office' exhibit, which includes props and memorabilia from the sitcom, has introduced a separate ticket charge, marking the first such upcharge in the museum's 108-year history. The exhibit will remain open until at least October 2027, with NBCUniversal planning to rotate new props and costumes. Additionally, the NASA Hubble Space Telescope exhibit has been extended into October, contributing to increased school field trips and group admissions.
