Reviews
We decided to have our wedding ceremony in the African Hall of The Academy, and our reception in Dinosaur Hall because the space was so unique and beautiful. The building features lots of beautiful hardwood and gorgeous displays. My guests were so thrilled to have their run ofthe museum for the night, and we were even able to visit the butterfly room during the cocktail hour. It was better than magical.
