The Cincinnati Museum Center is celebrating its legacy — which began more than 200 years ago with the founding of the Western Museum Society — with an extravagant party.
Layers of Wonder, as the event is dubbed, will bring crafted cocktails, light bites, live music and entertainment to the museum for an enchanting evening of exploration and indulgence.
The party will have bars on every level as well as hors d’oeuvres from local culinary favorites for guests to enjoy while they peruse various exhibits.
“Walk the cobblestone streets past an 1850s steamboat and beer hall as you feast on a rustic Cincinnati staple and raise a stein of your favorite local brew. Sneak into a 1930s speakeasy to enjoy a Manhattan and decadent desserts. Embrace your inner carnivore or herbivore as you graze in the shadow of dinosaurs and explore the nooks and crannies of The Cave with a spiked shaved ice in hand. And let our mad scientists delight your taste buds with liquid nitrogen-fueled foods and fizzing cocktails,” a press release reads.
There will also be an incognito sketch artist meandering throughout the celebration to capture moments from the evening.
7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1. $200; $150 member; $225 premium. Cincinnati Museum Center, 1301 Western Ave., Queensgate, cincymuseum.org/layersgala.
