Wine tastings and food pairings (light hors d’oeuvres) will be available throughout the museum’s four levels. Opportunities to engage with the museum’s collection and the rich history of the building will further enhance this milestone event. As an added bonus, a representative from NYC’s Museum Hack will be in the galleries, interacting with guests in a fun and informative manner, creating an unforgettable evening.

Several newly restored exhibition spaces highlighting the museum’s permanent collection will be unveiled as part of the museum’s evening activities.  Many items currently in storage will be on view for the first time as part of the new exhibits.

The evening will culminate in the Historic Pool and Mezzanine areas with additional food and wine. Light hors d’oeuvres will be served throughout the event. It should be noted that this event is not a sit-down dinner.  New York’s Michael Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra will give a special performance in the Historic Pool area. The Dreamland Orchestra is best known for performances at high-end events including the Cannes Film Festival, The Manhattan Cocktail Classic, and the Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor’s Island in New York City.  Arenella created the orchestra, and the lawn party, to fulfill his lifelong fascination with times past, and he transcribes all of the orchestra’s repertoire by hand.
