After a year-long hiatus, the Case Research Lab in Auburn will once again be opening for in-person tours.
The former laboratory founded by Theodore Case is the middle building on the campus of the Cayuga Museum of History and Art, and the historic structure is the birthplace of sound-on-film technology. Museum officials urge visitors to explore in-depth the story of the Case Research Lab and the dozens of workers who, under the leadership of inventor Theodore Case, together envisioned one of the most influential innovations of the 20th Century, changing the world forever. If you are visiting with young ones, be sure to check out the Kid’s Corner of the Case Lab with science experiments and hands-on activities designed specifically for your creative explorers.
Tours of the Case Research Lab will be available on the half-hour from Wednesday to Saturday, 10:30 AM – 3:30 PM, beginning on May 7. Free tours of the Laboratory will be available as part of the Museum’s West End Arts Campus open house celebration on May 3 at 1 PM and 2 PM. Go to cayugamuseum.org/visit-us to learn more.
A guided tour of the Laboratory with admission to the Cayuga Museum is $12. Joint passes to the Cayuga Museum and Schweinfurth Art Center are also available. Children under 12 and Cayuga Museum Members are free, and admission for families with children 12 and under is free on Saturdays. The Cayuga Museum is located at 203 Genesee St. in Auburn.
Tours of the Case Research Lab are supported in part by the Case Research Lab sponsor, the Technology Alliance of Central New York (TACNY), which supports all STEAM programming at the Cayuga Museum in continuance of the Lab’s legacy of scientific discovery
