8-21: Pink Palace schedules 75th Birthday Party

Come celebrate with us as museum exhibits and IMAX admission will be free. See what we’re placing in our 75th Anniversary Time Capsule, which will be on display.

There will be a special 75th birthday cake in the shape of the Pink Palace Mansion on view, light refreshments, balloons and several fun activities for the kids.

Enjoy Robby Krampf’s Electrifying Experience in the grand premiere of the beautiful, newly-renovated Mansion Theater.

Jimmy Crosthwait will present his puppet shows on the mezzanine and Tracy Dunlap’s Animal Show will be held on the Mansion’s front lawn.

The Union Planters IMAX Theater will show trailers from 10 years of IMAX films, as well as Planetarium Artist Edwin Faughn’s “Visions of the Universe” on an alternating schedule.

There will be contests to enter, and you can take a sneak peak behind the scenes into “The Pit” — the Museum’s artifact storage area, enjoy Solar Observing and a Solar System Walk on the front lawn, listen to our new Oral History recordings and take a tour our brand new African-American History Experience.

You’ll find 75th Anniversary merchandise in the Museum Store, and there’s a Special Prize for the 75th person who enters the Museum that day.
