An evening of wonder, curiosity, and community is coming to Dallas this fall: the Perot Museum of Nature and Science announced that its signature fundraising gala, Night at the Museum, returns on Saturday, November 14, 2026.
After hours, the Museum takes on an entirely new energy. Guests will explore all five levels filled with hands-on discovery, enjoy signature cocktails, and be treated to curated experiences and surprises throughout the night. Wolfgang Puck Catering will deliver a five-star culinary experience with inventive menus, immersive food displays, and interactive dining moments.
The evening brings together supporters, community leaders, and Museum advocates, led by gala chairs Nancy Best, Nancy Carlson, David Corrigan, Joan Buchanan Hill, Karen Katz, and Suzanne Perot McGee. It is a celebration of what curiosity can spark — a new question, a new passion, a new possibility.
Most importantly, every dollar raised goes directly to the Museum’s financial aid programs: community field trips, outreach, discounted admission, and memberships. In the past year alone, more than 280,000 visitors experienced the Museum thanks to financial aid — proof that this night truly opens doors for the youngest learners of North Texas.
Ticket packages begin at $5,000 for six guests. Dress is cocktail attire, and complimentary valet parking will be available. For more information, visit perotmuseum.org/NATM.
