Experience the magic of early summer at MOR’s Taste of the Rockies, one of Bozeman’s premier benefit events. The event will be held on Thursday, June 26th, beginning at 5:30pm with a tour of the Museum exhibitions. The evening is exclusive to those 21+ with resort casual or Western attire encouraged.
Every bite and sip helps to expand access to world-class exhibits, educational programs, and hands-on learning experiences. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Northern Rocky Mountains, this lively evening brings the spirit of the West to life through music, food, culture and community.
Immerse yourself in Western heritage with live music by Twang, take a culinary journey through the Rockies with delicious small bites and spirits, and celebrate Indigenous voices with Mariah Gladstone of Indigikitchen.
Tickets are available now for a member price of $60 with VIP admission available. Find a complete list of event activities through the Museum website.
As part of the festivities, take in MOR’s latest changing exhibit SUE: The T.rex Experience. Step into the world of SUE the T. rex to uncover the mysteries about the life of this fearsome fossil.
Come between two titans with full-scale casts of SUE and T. rex’s nemesis, Triceratops. Experience a unique multimedia show transporting you to the Cretaceous forest alongside SUE. Learn how the fossil was unearthed, and how scientists continue to make discoveries about SUE, the most complete Tyrannosaurus rex specimen ever discovered.
Use all of your senses to take in SUE’s world. Take a whiff of their putrid breath, watch SUE tromp through the Late Cretaceous forest, feel the texture of dinosaur skin, and hear the subsonic rumble of a T. rex. See the fossils of animals, plants and dinosaurs that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, and come face-to-face with a full-size, fleshed-out replication of a ferocious T. rex battling the duck-billed herbivore, Edmontosaurus.
MOR is open from 9am–5pm daily. For more information about these events, exhibits and other museum happenings, visit www.museumoftherockies.org. •
