This extraordinary exhibit space is set against a backdrop of lifelike hand-painted murals and multi-dimensional displays. This is a perfect setting for hors d’oeuvre and cocktail receptions as it provides a beautifully appointed space for your customers, co-workers, or friends to browse while they enjoy each other’s company.

This area is perfect for gatherings up to 144 guests for a breakfast, luncheon, hors d’oeuvre reception, or dinner. An appealing feature of this room is an overlook space with views of the main exhibit gallery and its collections. The center section of this space provides an aerial view of the main lobby below, which often functions as a unique space for dancing.
• Lower Level Gallery – In the lower-level concourse, guests are seated among rare automobiles and vintage buses near our restored 1940s Valentine Diner. Whitney Houston’s limousine and the bus from the award-winning movie Forrest Gump are among the memorable sights. The area accommodates up to 400 guests banquet-style utilizing tables of eight.
