Adult Hands-on History: Paleontology Edition

Experience an unforgettable evening at the Charleston Museum with a brand-new, exclusive after-hours event: Adult Hands-on History.

This is an exclusive opportunity for grown-ups who are still kids at heart to explore the Museum’s many exhibits and collection items. Explore the galleries at your own pace or participate in a hands-on activity with a Museum curator. Drinks available for purchase from Love & Bunches Mobile Wine Bar, along with complimentary light bites.

Adult Hands-on History: Paleontology Edition is scheduled for March 14. Unearth the mysteries of the past and unleash your inner paleontologist. Meet Curator of Natural History Matthew Gibson and learn more about the Museum’s extensive fossil collection. Get hands-on with real fossils as Gibson teaches you how to clean and date fossils from sediment samples. Participants will also learn how to create a fossil cast and fossil imprint to take home. Guests are invited to bring their own fossil finds to have them identified by the curator.

Cost is $15 for Museum members or $25 for non-members. Reservations required.
