Host an Event at the American Museum of Natural History

Milstein Hall of Ocean Life

Milstein Hall of Ocean Life

Bathed in blue light, the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life takes guests on a magical adventure to an underwater realm like no other in the world. Dine and dance under the 94-foot blue whale—the Museum's most celebrated icon—in one of the largest event spaces in Manhattan. The midnight blue Versailles oak dance floor adds the perfect festive touch. Visitors descend a grand staircase into the spacious interior, immersing themselves in a marine environment encircled by a necklace of state-of-the-art dioramas with dramatic lighting, soundscapes, and high-definition video screens. Video screens and the massive Ocean Wall are programmable to display customized presentations.

Capacity for Reception: 1,200 guests
Capacity for Seated Dinner: 1000 guests
Capacity for Dinner Dance: 800 guests
