Get ready to fire up your synapses for this month’s brain-focused Member Morning in honor of national Brain Awareness Week! Explore the museum an hour before everyone and experience your favorite exhibitions—including Brain: The Inside Story—as the museum opens early just for members. Along with beating the crowds, you’ll get to test the limit of your mind with special brain challenges and games. Afterwards, join us under the Gulf Stream Aquarium exhibit Oculus on the Deep level (accessible via Level 1 or Level 3) for a fascinating discussion on the brains of sharks. The Frost Planetarium is joining the early morning fun as well with a special members-only screening of “To Space & Back.”

Admission to Member Mornings are free and only open to members and their guests. Pre-registration is highly recommended.?All members must have a valid membership card and show a photo ID upon entrance. Only those listed on the membership account will be permitted into the event. Accounts with guest privileges will be allowed the appropriate number of guests to accompany the member. The museum opens to the general public at 9:30 a.m.
