WCSC: Pre-booked ticket sales dominate IAAM during first month open
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) – During its first month open, hundreds of visitors from across the country passed through the doors of the International African American History Museum.
Museum officials say they continue to sell out by the end of most days and pre-bookings often fill up days in advance.
Chief Learning and Engagement Officer Malika Pryor says the board and staff are thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive response.
“Whether they’re coming as an individual, or they’re coming as a family and creating a multi-generational experience for themselves, are visiting the museum and then of course, there are additional folks that are making their way onto the lower grounds because our first level or garden level is a public park and so sometimes there are five visitors to Charleston that are not necessarily intentional visitors to the museum, who are also in conversation with the installation to the gardens, which is pretty fantastic as well,” Pryor says.
