We pride ourselves in the quality of exhibits and experiences available for guests like you. Whether you're planning an afternoon visit or a digital exploration in your pajamas, there is always something for you to enjoy.
If the sports world can thank anyone for the signs used in baseball today, Luther “Dummy” Taylor, a pitcher for the New York Giants in the early 1900’s would be that person.
Being Deaf means living in a visual world, a world where sight takes precedence and the norm is communication through a visual language rather than a spoken language.
Please support the William J. Marra Museum, the only independently owned and public museum about Deaf history, arts and culture in the United States. Donations help keep exhibits fresh and inspiring for guests like you.
Our museum offers an opportunity to learn about the advantages of signed languages for all humans, whether Deaf or non-Deaf and to elevate Deaf humans' stories. Group tours and museum reservations are available. We are a non-profit 501(c)3 foundation so donations are always appreciated.
