Murder at the Museum

Murder at the Museum

On a brisk October evening in 1957, the Adirondack Museum’s first season ends—not with a fond farewell, but with foul play. As the lights dim and the doors close, an eccentric mix of museum staff and curious locals gather for one last night … only to be swept into a chilling mystery. Who committed the crime? And will they strike again?

Adirondack Experience, The Museum on Blue Mountain Lake

New Season, New Experiences

Since opening their doors to the public in 1957, they have delighted millions of visitors with fascinating exhibitions and stories about life in the Adirondack region. With over 20 historical and contemporary buildings on 121 acres overlooking Blue Mountain Lake, the open air campus offers lots to see and do for everyone. From the ADKX Boathouse and trails to the interactive exhibits in Life in the Adirondacks and the newly opened art exhibit, Artists & Inspiration in the Wild.
