This open, flexible space can be transformed into a number of experiences for you and your guests: reception-style cocktails, elegant seated dinners, intimate seating for conversation, or a beautifully lit dance floor.
The East Atrium and Pavilion offer guests an easy, accessible entrance from the east side of the museum and features a dazzling glass ceiling suited to both sunny daytime events or evenings under the stars.
Guests can also enjoy complimentary access to our permanent exhibition Inside Ancient Egypt—a perennial visitor favorite—for the duration of your event.
