STORY TOOLS 
More from LifestyleBETHEL — A museum is opening June 2 at the site of the 1969 Woodstock concert.
The Museum at Bethel Woods, about 90 minutes north of New York City, will offer exhibits, personal stories, multimedia experiences and programs about the 1960s, focusing on everything from music and fashion to political protest.
The original three-day festival epitomized the era's "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll" counterculture while drawing 400,000 people to hear Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, The Who and many other performers.
The Museum at Bethel Woods is part of the larger Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, an outdoor performing arts center and complex with an eclectic concert series and other events. Performers scheduled for this summer include the "True Colors" show with Cyndi Lauper and the B-52s, Ringo Starr, the New York Philharmonic, Donna Summer, the Klezmatics, the Boston Pops and many others.
Tickets for the museum are on sale from http://www.BethelWoodsCenter.org or Ticketmaster at 845-454-3388.
