A small portion of your donation will be directed towards our general operation budget to help offset losses due to COVID-19. There has never been a better time to become a Staten Island Museum member. Join now and help us preserve and present the best of Staten Island for generations to come. While we may be physically closed we have opened up our virtual doors to you to explore the Museum on-line and in July look for the Museum’s outdoor art exhibit on the grounds of Snug Harbor featuring parts of our newest exhibition, Women of the Nation Arise!
