VIP Art Curator Experience
Cost: $250 | Length: 2 Hours
Spend two hours with Curator of Art, Megan McNaught, for a personalized experience of the Museum of Arts and Sciences. Megan will reach out beforehand to ask questions about what you would most like to get out of your time with her at the Museum so that she can design an experience just for you. You can learn about the inner workings of the Museum and get information on the permanent collection and other curated exhibits. Find out how art is acquired and cared for, why certain exhibits are chosen, and the decisions made around designing exhibits, or you can spend time with and learn all about certain items from the collection brought out to you from the vault. The minimum age requirement for this VIP Experience is 16 years old.
Planetarium
VIP Planetarium Curator Experience
Cost: $250 | Length: 2 Hours
Do you enjoy the planetarium and wonder what it's like behind the scenes? Sign up for the Planetarium VIP experience and find out.
The planetarium's curator, Paul Fisher, will take you on a tour of all three floors of the planetarium, including the roof where local bald eagles sometimes become agitated if the curator hangs around for too long. You will also be introduced to the planetarium's computers, projectors, and 5000 watt sound system. With them, you will have an opportunity to operate the planetarium itself so that you can see the sky from anywhere on Earth. You will even be shown how you can create your own planetarium-like experiences at home. The minimum age requirement for this VIP Experience is 10 years old.
