ALBANY, N.Y. - The New York State Museum will extend its hours to host another After Hours evening of music, exhibit tours and refreshments on Friday, Jan. 21 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The acoustic guitar music of national recording artist Marcus Ruggerio will be featured on the Museum's fourth-floor Terrace Gallery that overlooks the Empire State Plaza.

"Our premier After Hours in August was wildly popular, quickly selling out, so we decided to make the After Hours program a regular part of our offerings," Museum Director Cliff Siegfried said.

"Visitors will not only be treated to an evening of great music, food and beverages, but our experts will be on hand to give tours of some very exciting exhibits."

Curators will provide numerous tours throughout the evening of Trains that Pass in the Night: The Railroad Photographs of O. Winston Link, Looking Back: The State Museum in the Year 2000 and Minerals of New York.

Admission to this event is $12 per person in advance. Members pay $10 per person. Anyone wishing to attend may call 518/474-5801 to purchase tickets. The admission price includes food, music and tours. Drinks will be available. The event is sponsored by The River, WRVE and the Big House Brewing Company.
