Special Preview Luncheon
Monday, July 9
11 am – 1:30 pm
$25
As our scientific partners and colleagues, we’d like to invite you to an exclusive sneak preview luncheon at the new Bell Museum and the state-of-the-art Whitney and Elizabeth MacMillan Planetarium.
Hosted by Director, Denise Young, Director of Public Engagement and Science Learning Holly Menninger, along with Scientific Director George Weiblen and our curatorial team, we’d like to start new conversations as we launch a new era of the Bell Museum.
The $25 fee covers the cost of a box lunch, along with a special gift bag including a Bell t-shirt and other gifts.
We hope you’ll join us for this informal event; we’d like to talk more and offer you a sneak preview of the planetarium, as well as previews of the museum exhibits, our expanded educational collection, the new astronomy observation deck, and more!
The brief Planetarium preview program will be repeated twice during this event, at 11:15am and at 12:45pm. Complimentary tickets will be available at the event check-in table on a first-come, first-served basis.
Registration/Tickets are available here: z.umn.edu/BellPreviewLuncheon (It will ask you for your lunch preference as well as your t-shirt size).
