The first Wednesday of every month, the Bell Museum stays open late to celebrate the balance between art and the natural world with special activities and guests.

A part of the Bell Museum evening programs, After Hours include guest artist installation events, walkabouts, and discussions. You can also participate in Sketch Night which is an informal sketching evening where accomplished illustrators, casual hobbyists and budding artists can gather to draw a variety of themed specimens from the Bell Museum's extensive collections.  AND the Exploradome gets an evening billing at 6:30 and 7:15 PM.  Star gaze with the Minnesota Institute for Astrophysics from 7:30-9:30 PM if the weather permits.

This event is free with museum admission or membership.
