The 2011 Dinosaur Ball was held July 9, 2011 to celebrate the opening of the new Dinosaur Hall. Guests enjoyed a gourmet dinner and a silent auction with NHM-themed items, including the chance to name a species of dinosaur, and marveled at the awesome dinosaur installations at the unveiling of the new Dinosaur Hall. Afterwards, guests danced the night away to the sounds of a live bluegrass band atop the Museum’s new Car Park. The Dinosaur Ball is held every other year and is the Museum's premier fundraising event.
