Night at the Museums
Friday, March 14, 2025
This annual event, a collaboration between all of BYU's museums, encourages participants to visit each museum in one night and solve a riddle pertaining to something on display in their exhibits. Earn a sticker for every correct answer, and show all 5 to claim a prize at the end. Free admission.
In addition to looking through our exhibit hall, make sure you visit the back to learn more about our collections, technology, and to see what research projects are happening at the MPC this year!

Mornings at the Museum
Join us for Mornings at the Museum, an interactive program designed for children under 11 years old (with adult supervision). Together we’ll embark on a journey through time and space to explore the rich tapestry of cultures across the world.
Children will dive into an interactive story-telling experience led by our talented education staff to bring to life the traditions and myths of diverse civilizations. But that’s not all! Then to end each session, kids will have the chance to express their creativity through arts and crafts related to the day’s story.
Mornings at the Museum begins June 12th! Join us every Thursday through July 31st from 10:00 AM until 12:00 PM. (The only exception being July 24th due to the Museum being closed for Pioneer Day.)
Children's Programs and Events
Fall/Spring Break Make 'n' Take
Kick off your break by coming to the museum for a morning of kid-friendly crafts and activities. Each station is themed around our exhibits and provides an educational and creative hands-on experience. This "open house style" event is held twice each year, once during Provo School District's Fall Break and once during Spring Break, with elementary (K-6) grades in mind.
Dates to be announced
