Psst! Meet in the back |
For Others, a Wait to 19 May
Thank you for joining us on Tuesday, May 15 from
10:00 am to 12:00 pm for our Operations Dress Rehearsal in preparation for the
opening of the Barnes in Philadelphia. We greatly appreciate your participation
in testing our many new systems and staff in advance of the public opening.
When you arrive at the Barnes, please park in
our parking lot located on Pennsylvania Avenue between 20th and
21st Street (the entrance is in the middle of the block). Staff will
greet you in our central outdoor plaza off of the parking lot and provide you
additional directions for the day.
You will essentially embark on a “scavenger
hunt” to test several standard visitor functions like ticketing, audio guides,
shop purchases, and membership sales. We will be using “faux” money during your
transactions, but the Shop will also be available for real purchases if
interested. During the course of your visit, you will have an opportunity to
explore all of our new visitor amenities.
Once you have completed the various tasks, we
will gather in the Auditorium for discussion and to complete an anonymous
questionnaire. We very much appreciate your candor in helping us deliver the
most welcoming, enjoyable and enriching experience for our guests.
Please let us know if you have any questions in
advance of your arrival on May 15. We look forward to welcoming you to the
Barnes in Philadelphia!
