Museum of Peoples, Cultures offers unique date night activity Jan. 21

The Museum of Peoples and Cultures at Brigham Young University will host the classic date night “Culture-Me-Mine” Friday, Jan. 21, at 7 p.m. at the museum, located at 100 E. 700 N. in Provo. 

Tickets for “Culture-Me-Mine” are $10 a couple and will be available for purchase at the Wilkinson Student Center Information Desk beginning Tuesday, Jan. 18.

To start off the night there will be a tour of the museum’s current exhibitions, “New Lives: Building Community at Fourmile Ruin” and “Beneath Your Feet: Discovering Utah Valley Archaeology,” followed by a game of “Couple Feud,” a scavenger hunt and refreshments.  The night will end with a clay activity where couples can put their newfound knowledge of Anasazi pottery and Fremont figurines to use. 

 “‘Culture-Me-Mine’ is a great date activity because it’s out of the ordinary,” said Anna McKean, promotions manager at the museum. “There aren’t many places that do a date-night quite like this one.”

For more information, visit mpc.byu.edu, or contact the museum at (801) 422-0020 or e-mail mpc@byu.edu. The museum is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is closed Saturday and Sunday.
