Relax, Unwind and Enjoy After Hours with MasterCard

Friday 27 January, 2011 19.00-21.30

As home to some of the most precious artefacts in the world, the Natural History Museum is always a tempting place to visit. It’s even more tempting late at night, when the atmosphere changes to a slightly more relaxed pace. In the MasterCard Bar you’ll enjoy a cocktail and canapés reception with other guests. You’ll also get to meet two librarians from the museum who will bring together some of the treasures held in the Library of the Natural History Museum, showcasing some of the oldest and rarest material dating back as far as 1491. Items included range from scientific notebooks to spectacular watercolours, all of which highlight the significance of the Museum’s art collections to the study of natural history. They capture some of the most important events in the study and exploration of the natural world, including key voyages, expeditions and travels. – a truly unique opportunity.

You’ll then be free to visit other parts of the Museum such as the iconic Central Hall, Dinosaurs gallery and the breathtaking Darwin Centre, taking your time to read in-depth accounts about everything from ancient fossils to beautiful artworks. The MasterCard Bar will be open throughout the evening, so you can visit at your leisure – no rushing, no crowds and no pressure. It’s simply the perfect atmosphere to learn more about what interests you most. We really look forward to seeing you there.
