Proceeds from the event support the museum's educational programs and special exhibitions. The evening got started with a packed Patrons Party, where fearless acrobatic dancers took to the walls of the museum atrium. Guests were treated to experiences designed to awaken their senses, including a wine pairing curated by MIT Media Lab researcher Janice Wang.
