Museum Nights

Make the Science Museum your weekend night destination! 

Fridays and Saturdays, 7 p.m.



Weekend nights are the perfect time for a museum adventure! Explore museum galleries, and catch an Omnitheater showing of Fungi: Web of Life, our latest large-screen offering. 

What do we call someone who comes to Museum Nights? A fun guy! Fungi: Web of Life is the latest of our evening offerings, unraveling how plants and animals would not exist without mushrooms, molds, yeasts, and toadstools. In this large-screen movie, witness time-lapsed life cycles of some of the grandest and strangest organisms ever discovered, all against the backdrop of landscapes largely unchanged since the time of the dinosaurs.
