The Go-Go Museum & Cafe is offering free admission to all furloughed employees impacted by the recent shutdown.
WASHINGTON — As we enter the third week of the government shutdown, more businesses are finding ways to ease the financial burden for furloughed employees.
The Go-Go Museum & Cafe is offering free admission to all furloughed employees impacted by the recent shutdown. In addition to free entry, federal employees can also enjoy discounted food during their visit.
As federally funded museums remain closed, the Go-Go Museum & Cafe is trying to help fill the void, by offering those looking for something to do an experience to remember.
“The Go-Go Museum’s mission is to elevate and preserve Washington’s homegrown sound, and that mission doesn’t pause because of government funding lapses,” said Ron Moten, founder and CEO of The Go-Go Museum & Café. “We have interactive exhibits for all ages that highlight over 400 years of both Native American and D.C. history. On tomorrow’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day and every day, we must acknowledge that Washington D.C. sits on the ancestral lands of the Anacostans, also known as the Nacotchtank Indians.”
The museum is located at 1920 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. SE, Washington, DC. It is opened six days a week, Monday-Saturday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
If you’re not a furloughed employee, but reside in DC, admissions is free with a valid ID. All other visitors must pay a $15 entrance fee.
The Go-Go Museum is a documentation and preservation of go-go music, the official music of the District.
