The Museum reopened today in a temporary location at the Westfield Shopping Center in Aurora (a.k.a. Fox Valley Mall) as Naperville Mayor George Pradel and Aurora Mayor Tom Weisner officiated a Ribbon Cutting. Â The Museum’s temporary home is located on the second level near Carson Pirie Scott. Â There is also plenty of free parking.
Visitors can experience the Museum on a smaller scale and admission is free – donations are welcomed.
The temporary Museum will be open 7 days a week during most Mall hours. The downtown Naperville Museum is tentatively scheduled to reopen in April.
