Wed 11/16 @ 5-9PM
The monthly Think and Drink with Extinct evening at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History gives grown-ups the chance to enjoy the museum’s offerings without a lot of kids running around. Plus the museum’s staff is on hand to do demonstrations and talks and share information about the museum’s exhibits.
This month’s theme is anthropology. Dr. Dr. Yohannes Haile-Selassie, CMNH’s curator of physical anthropology and a noted paleoanthropologist, will be there to “show and tell” about specimens from the museum’s human skeletal collection, one the world’s largest collections of human skeletal remains. Technical David Chapman will talk about making high-quality casts from such specimens in the museum collections. And you can meet photographer Donna Turner Ruhlman, whose food-related photos are currently on display at the museum in NEO-Natural: Our Global Kitchen.
Zach Bruell’s Exploration restaurant is open will special snacks available, and there’s a cash bar. Admission is only $8 per person after 5pm. See Planetarium shows “Anthropology and Astronomy” at 7pm or “Water Everywhere” at 8pm for an additional $5. And the gift store is open until 8:30pm so you can bring the kids something to make them less grumpy that you went to the museum without them.
