You + SMM = 4EVER

The Chemistry of Love and the Science of Sex
21+ event
Thursday, Feb. 13 | 6-10 p.m.

Love is in the atmosphere at the Science Museum!

Explore unbreakable bonds, lessons in chemistry, and the science behind what makes us fall in love with a rosy night at the museum. The Chemistry of Love and the Science of Sex brings matters of the heart to the museum floor, complete with love-filled live performances and heart-warming hands-on activities. Throughout this science-packed soiree, enjoy booze with your boos and sweets with your sweeties. 

And if you aren’t paired up this Valentine’s Day, don’t fear. Our love-filled evening is the perfect excursion for you and your gals, your pals, or your self. Plus, you can still get a dose of phenylethylamine — the body’s naturally occurring love drug — by snacking on chocolate from our food vendors. Chocolate is more than just a creature comfort; it has been scientifically proven to cause the same warm and fuzzy feelings that attraction can bring.
