During the weekend of September 8-10, tickets for the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum will be Pay As You Wish.
With Pay As You Wish tickets (at least $0.01), visitors will be able to purchase admission to the permanent Holocaust exhibition for any amount they deem appropriate. All Pay As You Wish tickets must be purchased at the Museum Welcome Desk during the Museum’s open hours from Friday, September 8 to Sunday, September 10.
In addition, the Museum will open additional sessions in the Impact Lab, the institution’s newest experience. Sessions will occur on Saturday, September 9 at 11 am and 2 pm, and Sunday, September 10 at 12 pm. The Museum’s regularly scheduled, educator-guided public tour will take place on September 10 at 2 pm.
“When guests visit the Museum, they’re sometimes left wondering, what now? What do I do now that I’ve learned about the Holocaust? How can I act?” said Helen Turner, the Museum’s Director of Education. “The Impact Lab is the answer to those questions. During a session in the Lab, participants will witness the stories of those impacted by genocide and hate crimes, learn how unchecked prejudice and hate can lead to violence and genocide, and engage with scenarios that will allow them to practice standing up against hate and bigotry in their daily lives. We look forward to sharing this unique experience with visitors during Pay As You Wish Weekend.”
