Dear NightLife guests: The health and safety of our guests, staff, partners, and community always come first. In response to the latest coronavirus (COVID-19) guidelines from local and state public health authorities, the Academy is currently temporarily closed to the public, and NightLife events have been postponed. We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to welcoming you back to the museum when it is safe to do so.
In the meantime, join our livestream on Thursday evenings! During Virtual NightLife events, we’ll bring you an eclectic mix of science, music, and art, and when NightSchool is in session, we’ll take deeper dives into a single science-related theme. Streaming Thursdays at 7 pm PDT on the Academy’s YouTube channel and Facebook page. Recordings of all livestreams are also available on our YouTube channel.
Learn more about the Academy's response to COVID-19, and explore how you can enjoy Academy science from home.
