The Perot Museum of Science and Nature’s annual fundraising gala stands out as one of Dallas’ most unusual and thrilling nights of the year. The museum will be transformed on Saturday, November 11 for an evening of mirrored illusions, human mazes, and blind food tastings. The VIP pre-party will begin at 6 p.m., followed by the main party at 7 p.m. and an after-party that runs from 9 p.m. to midnight.

This truly is a night at the museum. Attendees are welcome to explore the museum’s five levels while enjoying delectable offerings from Wolfgang Puck Catering.

The fun-filled soirée provides financial assistance to allow students to visit the Perot in addition to supporting the museum’s mission to inspire minds through nature and science, from on-site and outreach programs for pre-K through 12th graders.
