Frances Day is free and open to the public. It is named in honor of 1961 Skidmore College graduate Frances Young Tang. Upon Tang’s passing in 1992, her family donated a generous amount of money to help build the Tang Teaching Museum, which opened in 2000. Frances Day honors Frances Young Tang’s legacy of creativity and philanthropy.
