Something creepy is awakening at the Virginia Museum of Natural History this October!On Thursday, October 29, the museum is offering its first-ever, adults-only, Halloween-themed, behind-the-scenes experience for those who dare!
The evening begins innocently enough, with an offering of heavy hors d'oeuvres, adult beverages, and a signature cocktail during the "Dispirited Hour". It's when the restricted access doors swing open and the behind-the-scenes tours begin that things grow peculiar.
Led by the museum's curators, guests will tour the museum with a focus on the "spirit room" collections and the creepy stories many of its specimens tell. As you wind your way through the museum's restricted areas, guests will ultimately arrive at a normally inaccessible zone where executive director and renowned forensic entomologist Dr. Joe Keiper will haunt you with a never-before told story of insects and their role in death scene investigations. We hope you enjoy your stay, because what you learn may torment you to the end of your days!
