The CU-Boulder Heritage Center has extended its hours to increase time available for viewing of the current Glenn Miller exhibit, running through December, and all of the center's other permanent exhibits.
The new hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., adding Mondays and Saturdays to the former schedule to accommodate football and other visitors.
Through December 1999 the Heritage Center is featuring a special exhibit about famed bandleader and CU alumnus Glenn Miller. Rarely seen artifacts from the Glenn Miller Archives are on display, including three trombones owned by Miller and the first gold record ever awarded.
To set the mood, the Heritage Center聮s newly acquired 1947 Wurlitzer jukebox spins out Swing era hits, while other personal artifacts help tell the story of how the music created by Miller inspired and captured the spirit of an era.
Located on the third floor of Old Main, the Heritage Center features permanent exhibits interpreting the history of the university including displays on athletics, university life, distinguished alumni, and a newly updated exhibit on CU聮s involvement in space exploration and research.
