Night at the Museum: Celebrating 20 Years of the Frazier

presented by Fifth Third Bank

April 12, 2024

Night at the Museum: Celebrating 20 Years of the Frazier, presented by Fifth Third Bank, is an experiential museum takeover that honors the incredible legacy of our founder, Owsley Brown Frazier and supports the work of the Frazier Museum.

Don’t miss the party of the year! Enjoy food from a variety of local caterers, drinks from Brown-Forman and many other Kentucky distilleries, and live, local music - all included with your ticket!

There will be swag, a silent auction featuring Bourbons that you just can’t find anywhere else, and experiential encounters around every corner, sharing what is truly cool about Kentucky! After drinking, dancing, and discovering hidden gems throughout our galleries, the celebration will continue late into the night with an after-hours party featuring Ponyboy Slings!

Most importantly, Night at the Museum is an annual fundraiser that supports the museum’s exhibitions and educational programs, including free or reduced admission for Title 1 students, Frazier Weekly, our ‘Bridging the Divide’ series, camps, guest engagements, and ‘Stories in Mind,’ which brings the Frazier into long-term care communities. We encourage you to make a donation.
