DAHESH MUSEUM
The Dahesh Museum is really a special place in Manhattan, with a really relaxing cafe Opaline. We went there several times; the tour about Napoleon was so special, we came back with some students (Zoe and Clemence), just for them to hear how history is not always a boring subject !
Free Museum Admission until September

Dear Friends:
You have a special interest in the Dahesh Museum – so we are writing to you in advance of the public announcement to be published in the New York Times on Friday, September 14. The Board of Trustees of the Dahesh Museum of Art has decided to close our current location at 580 Madison Avenue; the galleries will close this Sunday and the Museum Shop’s last day will be September 25. With the assistance of our director, Dr. Flora E.S. Kaplan, advisor to the Dahesh Museum of Art for nearly 20 years, we have decided that it is time to resume our quest for a permanent and fitting site for an enduring Dahesh Museum of Art. In the interim, the Museum will be working out of offices and our website will be expanded so there will be public access to the Museum collection, information on our traveling exhibitions and our publications – and a new online Museum Shop that will continue to create exciting collection-inspired products for special occasions, and the upcoming holiday seasons.
Many of you have likened the Dahesh to a “home,” with staff welcoming the public, members, contributors, and regulars who attended our “First Thursdays,” lectures, symposia, film festivals, and exhibitions over our years on Fifth and on Madison Avenues. We look forward to being in touch with you in this new chapter and endeavor of the Dahesh Museum of Art. Please check our website at http://dma.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=Dkp6GgAWAAEAAAcSAAFgVA beginning September 14.
We thank you for being a friend and we invite you to a special “Appreciation Day” on Saturday, September 15, 2007, which will be from 10am – 6 pm in the Museum Shop.
Sincerely,The Dahesh Museum of Art
