What We Could Not Verify

  • Holiday Lights dates and price: the first museum page we read gave December 18 to 19 from a web address only. The event page read later lists December 4 to 5, 11 to 12 and 18 to 19. Hours and prices are not confirmed; the organizer says more details are coming.
  • Thursday, Friday and Saturday hours, and the full event calendar (its events page returned an error): not confirmed.
  • The agsem.com address redirects to agsem.org.
