Grand Rapids Public Museum Announces
2015 Night at Your Museum Event
Grand Rapids, MI – See your favorite characters come to life at the Night at Your
Museum event hosted by the Grand Rapids Public Museum (GRPM) on Sunday, December
27 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Night at Your Museum is held annually at the GRPM, and is
based on the popular 2006, 2009 and 2014 movies.
Using a souvenir flashlight and honorary security guard badge upon admittance to the
dimly-lit museum, visitors become part of the drama that unfolds as characters from
the Museum’s exhibits come to life. Medieval knights will duel with swords, Native
Americans will perform ceremonial dances in full regalia and Civil War soldiers will
reenact skirmishes. Guests can take a ride on the 1928 Spillman Carousel, catch a
Mighty Wurlitzer Theater Organ concert and see a planetarium show in the newly
renovated Chaffee Planetarium.
Advance purchase of tickets is strongly suggested as the event sells out each year.
Tickets are on now. The cost is $20 per person for the program. All proceeds from the
event benefit the programs and exhibitions at the GRPM. For additional information or
to purchase tickets, please visit www.grpm.org.
Dinner with the Queen
Make your evening even more special by having dinner with the Queen! The characters
people love the most come to life in this exciting addition to the GRPM’s popular Night
at Your Museum program. At this unique prequel to the night’s main event, you will
learn about castle life and what it takes to be a Knight of the Realm. Tickets for this
dinner are $40 and include admission to the Night at Your Museum program. Dinner
begins at 4:45 p.m. Limited tickets available. Tickets on sale now.
Museum members will have the advantage of early opening and fast and easy check-in.
