WHAT
The Junior Council continued its 2010–2011 season
with a private viewing of
Brain: The Inside Story
and a cocktail reception.
This immersive exhibition allows visitors to explore
how the brain—a product of millions of years of
evolution—produces thoughts, senses, and feelings;
experience how the brain is continually changing at
different stages of life; and discover how new
understanding of the workings of the brain may help
scientists repair and reverse declines in brain
function.
Following the screening, guests enjoyed a cocktail
reception in the Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs.
BACKGROUND
The American Museum of Natural History’s Junior
Council is one of New York City’s most stimulating
membership groups for young philanthropists. Founded
in 1994, the
Junior Council supports the Museum’s mission
to discover, interpret, and disseminate, through
scientific research and education, knowledge about
human cultures, the natural world, and the universe.
Each year, Junior Council Members participate in
specially arranged events that offer them an
intimate view inside the Museum’s collections,
activities, and exhibitions. Junior Council Members
go behind the scenes at one of the world’s
preeminent museums, meet some of the nation’s most
distinguished and engaging scientists, and preview
the latest exhibitions.
