The Children’s Metamorphosis (Met) museum in Derry is in danger of closing after 16 years. According to an article in the Union Leader, the Met is hoping to raise $50,000 in pledges by the end of August. This would allow them to pay back rent and put them in a good position for the fall.
Our daughter is just coming up on 17-months so I’ve never been to the Met, but it’s a shame to lose a local museum of any kind, particularly one that’s been around for so long. Even though she’s a bit young for the target audience, I think we’ll have to make a visit very soon to show our support.
If you have kids between 3 and 6, or just want to support a local museum, there’s a meeting 8/7 at 7pm for anyone interested in helping. You can also make pledges by calling 603-425-2560 or visiting the Met’s website.
