Celebrate summer solstice at the museum. On the front lawn, two DJs – Alex the Lion and DJ Juba – will compete for listeners while they dance the night away under the midnight sun. The disco is “silent” – only people with headphones will hear the music. Each DJ broadcasts on a different channel. Dancers can switch their headphones between both channels and choose which DJ has the preferred jams at any given moment.

Inside, join the museum’s Silent Book Club in the atrium Living Room. Bring your favorite book or select one from the museum’s microlibrary and read in companionable silence. Food, and drink available for purchase from local food trucks and Muse restaurant. $10 member/$15 general http://ow.ly/i/kljWE
