The New York State Museum belongs to all New Yorkers, and we want to hear from you! As the Museum is planning for its renewal, community input will play an important role in shaping what comes next. 

Join us for an opportunity to share your ideas, experiences, and aspirations for the Museum. What stories should we tell? What topics and communities should be highlighted? How can we create more engaging exhibitions, programs, public spaces, and visitor experiences for people across New York State? Your feedback will help inform future exhibitions, educational programs, accessibility improvements, visitor amenities, and other aspects of the Museum's next chapter. Whether you're a longtime visitor, a first-time guest, or someone who has never visited before, your perspective matters. 

As a thank-you for participating, contributors will have an opportunity to spin our prize wheel for a chance to win Museum-themed giveaways. Come share your voice and help shape the future of the New York State Museum. 

Unable to attend? Your voice still matters. Complete our online survey by July 10 and share your ideas for the future of the New York State Museum: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NYSMSurvey. Opportunities to provide feedback in person at Museum events will continue beyond the survey deadline.
