Let's all Burke from Home!
Hi friend,
We've only been closed for two weeks but we miss you so much already! The Burke would be nothing without its community of members, so we'll be keeping in touch more frequently—about once a week—to keep you connected to the Burke from home while we're closed.
If you don't want to receive this increased communication, please click "Manage your preferences" at the bottom left of this email to unsubscribe from the Burke Museum Closure Communications list.
We hope you find these resources helpful!
Stay happy and healthy,
