Annual Museum After Dark Gala
Event Date
Friday, November 11, 2011 - (11.11.11)
Theme
Snow and Ice Gala: Reliving the Ice Age without the
Frostbite
Guests
A sell-out crowd of 740 guests were immersed in an Ice Age world
of sparkling snow and ice to enjoy cocktails, food, dancing and a
unique silent auction among some of the world's most amazing
scientific treasures. The event theme connected with the Snowmastodon Project™,
the museum's largest fossil excavation completed last summer near
Snowmass Village.

support the Museum's education programs for the next generation of
scientists.
