Kick off your weekend at the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park! Each Thursday Night at the Museum will be the most fun, engaging, uplifting, thought-provoking, perspective-shaping night of your week. And there are drinks. Join us starting at 5:30pm for pop-up activities, such as brief tours, games, and performances. The main stage comes to life at 6:30pm, light appetizers and drinks are available for purchase until 7:00pm, and the Museum’s exhibits and shop are open until 8:00pm for you to explore!

Colorful glass embellishments have long adorned the built environment in St. Louis, from churches to commercial buildings to private homes. Join us for this celebration of all things stained glass in St. Louis, featuring historian tables, a “tools of the trade” touch table, contemporary stained-glass artists, and pop-up presentations. Learn about long-standing artisans and companies, including Emil Frei Art Glass, founded in 1898; how contemporary artist Cbabi Bayoc is putting a new spin on traditional stained glass; the processes for creating and manufacturing stained glass; the sometimes-surprising symbolism hidden in stained glass; and more.
