Bundy Museum in Binghamton Announces Temporary Closure After 22 Years

The Bundy Museum of History and Art in Binghamton, New York has announced that it will be temporarily closing its doors after 22 years. The museum cited financial struggles and challenges from a rapidly changing world as reasons for the closure. In a statement, the museum said it is undertaking a comprehensive reorganization and downsizing, and that tours, programs, services, and activities are being suspended for now.

The Bundy Museum was founded by Harlow Elisha Bundy in 1893 and has been a staple of the Binghamton community ever since. The museum's exhibits showcase the region's history and the story of the Bundy family, who built a time-recording empire that eventually became IBM. The museum is currently open until August 22, 2026, but will be closed after that date.

The museum plans to honor as many shows and events already scheduled in the Annex Theater over the coming months as it can, and will announce any cancellations with as much notice as possible. Tax-deductible gifts and donations are still being accepted, and the museum thanked the artists, staff, volunteers, and supporters who kept its doors open for 22 years.
