The Health Museum is the ideal setting for a unique and memorable event experience. Past events have included conferences, staff retreats, seated dinners, receptions and fashion shows.
The George and Barbara Bush Grand Hall
This magnificent space is the ideal setting for a reception or seated dinner. Featuring terrazzo floors, glass archways and a 50-foot ceiling, it truly is a Grand Hall. The open floor plan allows for various event layouts and design options. Centrally located, the Grand Hall provides guests with access to all the museum’s exhibits as well as the McGovern Theater. Accommodates 350 for standing reception, 175 banquet seating and 200 for theater-style seating.
The Amazing Body Pavilion
The Amazing Body Pavilion allows guest to experience the human body as they journey through the exhibit’s a-maze-ing passages. Traveling from the mouth, down the esophagus and into the stomach, guests enter a world of discovery. Once inside the network of corridors, guests get a sense of the exhibit’s vast size. The ideal location for a networking reception, this exhibit offers intimate niches for conversation. Walking through the brain and gazing into a giant human eye provides attendees an array of conversation starters. Their voyage continues through every life-sustaining organ of the amazing body and connects to the adjacent You: The Exhibit.
You: The Exhibit
Guests become part of the exhibit experience in this innovative gallery that allows them to gain an understanding of the features and personality traits that make them unique. This exhibit, located off the Grand Hall, is perfect for a reception-style gathering and allows guests to flow into the Amazing Body Pavilion. Guests can explore their physical, unique and future selves in this interactive and intriguing exhibit!
Sue Trammell Whitfield Gallery
The Sue Trammell Whitfield Gallery hosts several limited-engagement exhibits throughout the year. With over 6,000 square feet of exhibit space, this gallery is transformed into a must-see exhibit. The spacious entrance from the Grand Hall provides guests a glimpse into the gallery and allows for easy flow of guests between these two spaces.
