We’ll be taking a short pause from October 1 to 5 to deep clean the museum, tackle some important maintenance, and start transforming the space for our spookiest event of the year — Monster Ball!


The museum will reopen after this brief closure, and we can’t wait for you to see what we’ve been working on. Mark your calendars for Monster Ball on Saturday, October 25, from 4 to 8 PM  — a night of science, fun, and frightful delights!


Stay curious... and stay spooky. 👻
