Museum's Adults-Only Nights Show That Alcohol and Science Are a Good Mix

Posted by samzenpus on from the hall-of-drinking-man dept.

BarbaraHudson writes Museums and science centers are finding that science nights with bar service are quite popular with the public. "Organizer Merissa Scarlett said almost every science center across Canada opts for adults-only nights, where visitors can explore exhibits with an alcoholic drink in hand. It's also a trend taking off in many museums, including the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa, where nights dubbed Nature Nocturne transform the building into a multi-stage bar and club."

    So: not for the general public.

    The significanse of the Elgin Marbles would be lost on the hoi polloi.
