Museum of the Rockies creeps into the spooky season with the return of spirited seasonal event, “Pour & Gore: A Victorian Halloween Party” Two adults-only events will be held Friday and Saturday, October 24th and 25th from 6–10pm each night.
Slip into your finest vintage threads and uncover the shadowy secrets of the Victorian era at this delightfully dark and immersive evening of spirited fun. History has never been this haunting, or this stylish.
At Pour & Gore, the 1890s Tinsley House comes alive with hauntingly beautiful décor and vintage fun. Try your hand at classic Victorian parlor games, create a creepy crepe paper snake in a hands-on workshop, and receive a personal tarot or fortune-telling session. Visit the Taylor Planetarium for a spooky, celestial-themed show, then explore Montana’s mysterious past through captivating tales of local myths and legends.
Whether you’re fascinated by folklore, drawn to handmade oddities, or enchanted by eerie stargazing, Pour & Gore offers an evening filled with mystery, history and Halloween celebration. Victorian or vintage-inspired attire is encouraged, and eerie elegance is welcome.
Enjoy a complimentary drink of your choice, whether it is a haunting cocktail, crisp beer, fine wine or non-alcoholic beverage, and savor light refreshments provided by MSU Catering and Plonk. Additional drinks will be available for purchase.
“Pour & Gore” tickets are $49 for members and $55 for non-members. Attendees must be 21+. Ticketing access may be found through the event host website.
Also at MOR, current changing exhibit Becoming Jane: The Evolution of Dr. Jane Goodall will be on display into early 2026.
Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace, braved the unknown to give the world a remarkable window into humankind’s closest living relatives: chimpanzees.
In this hands-on, transportive multimedia exhibition celebrating her extraordinary life and work, visitors will explore Dr. Goodall’s early years through iconic images and a multiscreen experience and venture on an immersive projection of Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park where she did her famous behavioral research on chimps.
Visitors will also see a life-size hologram of Dr. Goodall, enter a replica of her research tent, and learn about her current role as a leader in community-centered conservation and youth empowerment. Finally, visitors will find out what they can do today to make a positive impact in the world.
MOR is open from 9am–5pm daily. For more information about featured exhibits, membership details and ‘Pour & Gore’ tickets, visit www.museumoftherockies.org. •
