A Roaring Twenties Science After Dark tonight at the Museum of Discovery

Posted on by

It’s a new decade for Science After Dark so the Museum of Discovery wants to make the first SAD of 2020 extra special with a Roaring Twenties theme!

Plus they want to give you an excuse to wear your flapper dress or pinstripe suit from your New Year’s Eve parties one more time. Most importantly, they are combining science and history to explore the advances, technologies and inventions made during the 1920s!

A few of the planned activities:
–The Gangster Museum of America
-Learn the Charleston and other popular dance moves
-See area houses built in the 20’s with Quapaw Quarter Association
-1920’s costume contest
-Radio history with KUAR FM 89.1
-Found flapper fashion (Tinkering Studio)

Science After Dark is the museum’s adult program held the last Thursday of the month. You must be at least 21 to attend. Admission is $5 or free for members (tickets can be purchased at the door or online.) Enjoy food and cocktails from our vendors. Thank you to our presenting sponsor Tito’s Handmade Vodka and sponsor Stone’s Throw Brewing!

June Science after Dark celebrates 50th anniversary of first moonlanding

Posted on by

On July 20, 1969, man stepped on moon for the first time.

On June 27, 2019, the Museum of Discovery’s Science After Dark program will celebrate that 50th anniversary milestone  The program runs from 6pm to 9pm at the Museum.

No word on whether anyone present will be a believer that it was all a hoax staged in a TV studio.

Apollo 11 was the first crewed mission to land on the Moon.  Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins were the crew for this historic mission.

Who says the Museum of Discovery is only for kids?!? Not the hundreds of 21-and-older science-and-fun lovers who attend Science After Dark each month. Because, science is fun … at any age! Science After Dark provides visitors the opportunity to have fun and learn about science in a unique setting.

Museum educators pick a science-related topic and build an entertaining, interactive evening around it. You never know what will sprout, pop, fizzle, or glow. We invite you to discover the science of having fun. Museum partners are there to serve pizza, and a full bar from craft beer to wine to cocktails is available.

And beyond the themed activities each month, Science After Dark admission ($5, free for members) includes access to all museum galleries and our 90-plus hands-on, interactive exhibits.
