Experience the Museums after hours during Moonlight, an adults-only (21+) evening celebrating art, community, and the ongoing story of American democracy. Inspired by the special exhibition Declaration/Declaración, this unique event invites guests to reflect on the ideals, voices, and evolving narratives that have shaped our nation while enjoying an unforgettable night of entertainment.
Entry to the Museums for this program is FREE and will only be possible through our Museum courtyard on North Main Street for the evening. This event is ONLY open to adults ages 21+ with a valid Government Issued ID required.
Throughout the evening, explore the museums at your own pace while enjoying live entertainment or stop in for trivia. Grab a drink from the cash bar hosted by Dry Point Distillers and enjoy dinner from a local food truck in the gated courtyard.
Whether you’re coming to engage with thought-provoking art, connect with friends, or simply experience the museums in a whole new light, Moonlight offers a vibrant evening where history, creativity, and self-expression come together.
