VIP Receptions

Fellows are often the first to view our newest collections and exhibits at VIP celebrations. Time travel with us as we step back in history for the unveiling of the restored 1913 Building and the openings of Age of Mammals, Dinosaur Mysteries and Under the Sun galleries. Each opening has an eye on the future as we present the past in a progressive manner. Fellows are sure to enjoy the ride!

Benefit level varies with each event.
