Museum Hours

Museum hours are centrally manage from a series of JSON files and included on the website via a WordPress shortcode. The files live on the production website and can be accessed by FTP and edited with a text editor. See the theme folder then inside the static folder:

• hours_cafe_carnegie_bar.json

• hours_cafe_carnegie.json

• hours_galleries.json

• hours.json

• readme.md

The basic marked up like so:

{
		"day": "Monday",
		"opens": "10 a.m.",
		"opens_ISO": "10:00:00",
		"closes": "5 p.m.",
		"closes_ISO": "17:00:00"
}

The museum is closed on Tuesdays, so the markup for that day looks like this:

{
    "day": "Tuesday",
    "message": "Closed"
}

Summer Hours

While the museum is typically closed on Tuesdays, however, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, i.e., Summer Hours, we are open on Tuesdays, and the markup should look like any other day.

Changing Hours

Since updating the hours requires a manual adjustment to the JSON files, these changes need to be made in manually and in advance of the calendar date. Please set calendar/task reminders in advance of the date change.

Other changes may be required from time to time, including Thanksgiving and other holidays. See readme.md for further details.
