Edward Hopper House Museum and Study Center is pleased to announce that the Riley Family Reading Room, which houses the Sanborn-Hopper Family Archive, as well as a library of books related to Hopper, will be open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays in February and March. Visitor hours for the Archive specifically are from 1pm to 4pm.
Edward Hopper House invites visitors of all ages to stop by and take a tour of the Study Center, which is home to over 1,000 documents and objects dating from the years when the Hopper family resided at 82 North Broadway. In addition to tours, there will be presentations starting at 2pm in the Archive. They will cover topics ranging from Hudson River history to women’s history by engaging with materials from the Archive such as diaries, notebooks, and letters. Visitors can explore how these social and historical themes were present in Hopper’s youth, as well as in the lives of his sister, Marion, and mother, Elizabeth.
All ages are encouraged to visit. Additional materials from the archival collection will be on view long term in the vitrine located in the Reading Room.
