Knock 3.14159 times on Door 19 for admission to an oddly charming evening that will forever change how you think about science. Curated for the curious, Door 19 is quirky science meets themed soiree, set against a backdrop of live performances, music, potent libations, and dinosaurs.
For only four nights this year, you will have the chance to go beyond the galleries and into specimen collections off-limits to visitors, alongside experts who will bring our coolest specimens out to play. Our rogue scientists will go a little bit off script to share their most incredible knowledge—from creepy taxidermy to medicinal botanicals. You’ll be reminded that no, in fact, you haven’t seen it all—far from it.
Door 19 is a series of four events each year. Here are the dates and topics for 2019:
-
Thursday, February 21: Renais-Science Faire
- Thursday, April 11: Clams Casino Royale
- Thursday, June 13: Traditional Medicinals
- Thursday, October 24: Death and Taxidermy
