On Monday, May 18, the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum is celebrating International Museum Day by being open and offering a discounted admission price of $1.00 (age 13 and over). The museum is usually closed on Mondays.
International Museum Day began in 1977 as a way to showcase the role museums play in preserving cultural heritage. Beginning in 2001, the Governor of South Carolina has proclaimed May 18 as “South Carolina Museum Day.” This year’s theme is “Museums and Tourism.”
By being open for this special day, the museum seeks to raise awareness throughout the community about the importance of preserving South Carolina’s military heritage.
