This event is no longer on sale.

Thursday June 20

6:00 PM  –  9:00 PM

Step back in time and join us for a retro evening at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History!  

In 1974, Museum curator Dr. Donald Johanson discovered a humanlike fossil in the Afar desert of Ethiopia. Nicknamed Lucy, the fossil was the oldest and most complete hominin skeleton known at the time. At this lively 21+ event, spend a night boogying with friends while discovering how Lucy’s skeleton continues to reveal secrets from our distant past.

  • Fun ’70s-themed cocktails 

  • Groovy beats from a disco DJ

  • Encounters with replicas of Lucy’s fossils 

  • Up-close looks at specimens from the Museum’s paleontology collection
