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!

Step into the heart of Hispanic Heritage Month as we explore the dynamic tapestry of St. Louis’s Hispanic community. Enjoy dance performances by Alma de Mexico and Sumak Kamari Tradicional Dance Group of Ecuador, see displays of traditional clothing from Hispanic countries, visit cultural resources tables, paint your own Taino petroglyph-inspired rocks, play lotería, and enjoy food and drinks for purchase from La Colombianita, Sur Sabor, and the Key Bistro. At 6:30pm, grab a seat as Carol Daniel of Nine PBS leads a conversation with Justina Coronel, Dr. Nathalia Garcia, Octavio Nieto, and Ana Rivera Gonzales, as they reflect on traditions, connections, struggles, moments of pride, and hopes for the future.
