Curious about how the museum expansion will affect your event?

  • The existing property and pyramid will be able to host private events through all of 2024.
  • Starting in 2025, the expansion will begin to connect to the existing property.
    • From early 2025 – mid 2026 the museum will not be able to host weddings, proms, or events of 800+ people
    • For events of 20-800 people, we can still host you! All exhibits will remain online through construction and Levels 2-6 will remain untouched. Please contact us to find out more.
  • Baker Hall will be complete mid-2026. We will start taking reservations in the Spring of 2025.
