A Night at the Museum, Like in the Movies: How to Host an Unforgettable Party Among Dinosaurs.

A Night at the Museum

According to The Sun: If you think that spending a night in a museum is only possible in films, think again.

The Natural History Museum has turned the magic of the cult film 'A Night at the Museum' into reality.

The event called 'Dino Snores' for adults this year was a unique opportunity to spend the night in a well-known museum.

Those who managed to get a ticket had the chance to bring their sleeping bag and spend the night in the famous Hintze Hall.

Tickets cost £220 per person - not cheap, but this included two meals, a welcome drink, and a packed program of activities.

When we arrived at the museum, there was an atmosphere of excitement in the air.

Hundreds of sleeping bags had already occupied the space under the majestic 25-meter blue whale named Hope.

One man with a bottle of Prosecco couldn’t contain his excitement, telling how far he had come for this event.

Dinosaur enthusiasts had already donned pajamas, many of them wearing dinosaur-themed costumes.

After we found a spot for our sleeping bags, we were served a three-course dinner in the café.

The first course was a pork collar that melted in my mouth.

Next came a tasty main course of beef, mashed potatoes, and broccoli in a rich sauce.

However, I was a bit disappointed with the cheesecake - it was delicious but a little underwhelming.

After dinner, we headed on a tour of the museum's basement. Despite the numerous exhibits, the archival collection was even more impressive.

The walls of the enormous Tank Room were filled with thousands of specimens of fish, reptiles, and mammals preserved in alcohol.

Our guide noted that this room might seem familiar as it was used in the 2017 remake of 'The Mummy'.

But what captivated me more were the display cases containing materials collected by Charles Darwin during his voyage on the Beagle.

When we exited, the museum was plunged into darkness.

Guests moved from event to event - painting, stand-up comedy, and film screenings.

Paradise

In Hintze Hall, a harpist was taking requests, playing hits like 'Gangsta’s Paradise' and 'Still D.R.E.'

We wanted to stay and listen, but didn’t want to miss the live animal show, which, according to the staff, had become a highlight.

An hour in the museum auditorium took us back to childhood as we interacted with creatures like a gecko and a cockroach.

Expecting an uneasy night on the museum floor, we fell asleep almost immediately in our sleeping bags.

So much so that we missed the yoga session at dawn at 6:30.

No worries, as the Natural History Museum offers yoga sessions in the main hall a few times a year.

Fortunately, we made it in time for a hearty full breakfast before leaving.

Breakfast turned out not to be as impressive as dinner the night before, but it was filling and decent.

As in the movie, by morning, there were no traces left of the previous night's events.

If you want to experience this unforgettable night, you can book tickets for the next 'Dino Snores' event and join the atmospheric adventure at the Natural History Museum.
