Tickets for this year’s Night at Your Museum event at the Grand Rapids Public Museum go on sale today, Wednesday, Dec. 1. Proceeds from the “FUNraising” event, set for Monday, Dec. 27 from 6 to 9 pm, support programs and exhibits at the Museum.
Based upon the similarly named 2006 movie and 2009 sequel, this event has become one of the most popular offerings at the downtown institution. More than 1,000 guests will receive a souvenir flashlight and honorary security guard badge upon admittance to the dimly lit Museum that evening.
Following a dinner buffet, attendants will become part of the drama that unfolds as characters from the exhibits come to life on all three floors of the Museum. Medieval knights will duel with swords; Native Americans will perform ceremonial dances in full regalia; Cleopatra will arrive via procession, and soldiers will reenact Civil War skirmishes.
Guests are also encouraged to catch one of four scheduled planetarium shows. The Wurlitzer Theatre Organ will perform excerpts and outbursts in the Meijer Theatre, and the Spillman Carousel will whirl to life throughout the evening.
This year’s event ticket will not include admission to the current temporary exhibit BODIES REVEALED. Night at Your Museum has sold out for the past three years, so those interested should act quickly. Call (616) 456-3977, stop in to the Museum's front desk, or go to www.grmuseum.org to order your tickets at $20 per person.
