An evening where gods, heroes, and legendary creatures come to life ✨

Spend an unforgettable evening exploring our Mythology Room, where you'll come face to face with dramatic interpretations of Medusa, Poseidon, Pegasus, Chiron, Leda, Pandora, and other unforgettable characters from Greek and Roman mythology.

During the event, Artist David Derr will host a special Gallery Chat, sharing the inspiration behind these imaginative oil paintings and offering a fascinating look into how timeless myths are transformed into compelling works of art for today's audience. Learn about Derr's creative process, the symbolism behind his oil paintings, and how these ancient stories continue to inspire.

Before the gallery talk, wander through the museum and sculpture gardens, discover more than 350 works of fine art, and experience the museum after hours.

Photos and sketching are encouraged, and guests are invited to join the fun by dressing as their favorite Greek or Roman god, goddess, hero, or mythological creature.
