During the five SMO21+ events each year, the museum is completely open giving guests the opportunity to explore the exhibits, shows, and galleries. All guests enjoy themed activities and a cash bar with beer, wine, and signature cocktails. Pavlov’s Café will be open for guests who work up an appetite.
