  • Science After Hours: Rhythm & Booms at The Franklin Institute

    The Franklin Institute 222 North 20th Street, Philadelphia, Pa, United States Minor Outlying Islands

    The ultimate adults-only (21+) night at the museum is back, and it’s all about the music. Electric or euphoric, raucous or relaxed, think spring music festival meets science museum energy. A mix of live bands and DJs will set the night soundtrack, so dance your way through exhibits, sip sun-soaked drinks, and dive hands-first into activities inspired by music and sound and produced by partners and creators. Then, just as the beat drops, cue the explosive, heart-pounding live science “booms” at the hands of The Franklin Institute team. So, dress like you’re headed to your favorite festival. Make a statement.
