Thursday Nights at the Museum is a weekly series where the museum exhibits are open late and you can enjoy pop-up activities, a cash bar, food and more.

The 1904 World’s Fair introduced St. Louisans and much of the Western world to a carefully curated view of life in “the East.” Join us to explore how the presentation of the Eastern cultures such as China, the Philippines, and Japan at the 1904 World’s Fair still influences how those cultures are perceived and experienced today.

Come back for more! Thursday Nights at the Museum are sometimes the most fun, sometimes the most thought-provoking, and always the most interesting night of your week. The museum exhibits are open late, and you’ll enjoy cash bar and food for purchase, pop-up activities, concerts, lectures, and more.

ASL interpretation is available for programs with two weeks' advance notice. Please email access@mohistory.org to request ASL interpretation or with other accessibility questions.
