S.C. Museum Hosts Amore Under the Stars

Love is in the air and the museum! On Thursday, February 9, from 6 to 9 p.m., the South Carolina State Museum will host a special evening in honor of Valentine’s Day. The night’s activities will include a special Valentine’s Day planetarium show and a romance tour through the museum’s galleries exploring notable romantic relationships throughout the state’s history, many of which feature artifacts connected to great love stories of old. In addition, attendees will be able to explore the starry night sky by telescope in the Boeing Observatory (weather permitting), participate in Tango demonstrations from Emerald Ballroom and eat delicious food selections prepared just for the evening. A cash bar will also be on-site. Due to the popularity of this event and limited capacity, advance ticket purchases are recommended.

Cost: $28, museum members; $35, nonmembers. Location: S.C. State Museum, 301 Gervais St., Columbia. For more information, call 803-898-4952 or 803-898-4921, or visit SCMuseum.org/amore.
