Kick off your weekend at the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park! Thursday Nights at the Museum is a weekly series that is sometimes the most fun, sometimes the most thought-provoking, and always the most interesting night of your week. The museum exhibits are open late, and you’ll enjoy cash bar and food for purchase, pop-up activities, concerts, lectures, and more. Thursday Nights at the Museum is sponsored by WashU.
Join FOCUS St. Louis and the Missouri Historical Society on August 22nd as we bring together leaders of our region for an election year checkup on the condition of our democracy. What is our shared understanding of democracy, and why do we need to know how it works? How do we understand different perspectives? How do we foster meaningful and productive discourse? The discussion will explore the importance of civic education, finding common ground, and working across divides.
