New Museum Exhibit Opens and Tonight’s Beach Concert

Sea Cliff, NY · July 12, 2026

The village is waking up slowly today, but expect the usual Sunday bustle near the shoreline as the heat climbs toward the afternoon. If you’re looking for a quiet escape from the humidity, the museum doors open just after lunch with a fresh look at our local history.

📰 The Lead

The Sea Cliff Village Museum is highlighting our unique architectural heritage this morning with the official opening of its "Porches of the Village" summer photography series. The exhibit features dozens of local homes, documenting the evolution of the Victorian and Edwardian styles that define our hillsides. Curators spent the spring collecting contemporary shots and matching them with archival plates from the early 1900s, offering a side-by-side look at how these social spaces have changed—or stayed exactly the same. It’s a quiet way to spend an hour out of the sun today, providing a deeper appreciation for the gingerbread trim and wrap-around decks you’ll pass on your walk home. The museum opens its doors at 2:00 PM, with several of the featured photographers expected to be on hand for informal chats.

📸 Spotlight & Story
