A groovy event will take place in July at The Franklin Institute. Science After Hours on July 11 will have a '60s theme.
During the evening event, the 21-plus crowd can dance, drink and learn about science in the museum after-hours.
DJ SnakPak and DJ Breakfast will play soul, psych, surf, rock 'n' roll and mod hits under the dome of the Fels Planetarium. In the museum's theater, a live show will mix film footage and live science demonstrations to highlight a decade of science breakthroughs.
Each Science After Hours event also includes access to many of the museum’s hands-on exhibits.
To fuel the hip party, there will be cash bars selling wine and beer.
Dressing up in '60s-themed clothes is encouraged. Since the decade had such a mix of trends, there's plenty of inspiration to draw from. Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy, Twiggy, The Supremes, Cher and Brigitte Bardot were a few of the era's biggest fashion icons.
Men who made fashion statements in the '60s include Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Andy Warhol and Steve McQueen.
Tickets for the event are $20 for non-members and $15 for members.
