Play with your dog or chill under the stars on the patio.  Chat with members of the AHM team, hear about our future plans and learn how you can be part of history – animal history!

Inspire: An Evening of Compassionate Couture

We are creating a unique museum for the thoughtful exploration of one of the most complex and enduring – but historically trivialized – aspects of civilization: the human-animal relationship. We’re excited about what the future holds for the Animal History Museum.  If you’re excited too, we hope you’ll join us and let’s make history together!
