Attending the Night at the Museum event as part of the Macaulay experience was such a unique and exciting experience. From the moment I walked in, I knew this wasn’t going to be just another museum trip. The atmosphere was electric and it was so interesting and fun to have the class of 2028 in one space.

One of the highlights for me was seeing the giant “YO” sculpture outside. As soon as I spotted it, I couldn’t resist taking a picture of it. The bold yellow letters stood out brilliantly against the night sky, giving off such a playful vibe. It felt like a modern and welcoming piece of art that invited everyone to engage with it. The lighting around it also added to the overall atmosphere, it was lively and exciting, setting the tone for the rest of the night. That sculpture definitely made me laugh as it was so prominent and informal, not something that I normally associate with formal museum buildings.

Inside the museum, the vibe shifted to something more cozy and intimate. The room that caught my attention had this amazing retro decor. The green walls and warm lighting created a nostalgic atmosphere that felt like stepping back in time. The hanging lights, with their intricate designs, gave off a soft glow, which made the space feel comfortable and homey. I couldn’t help but feel drawn to the shelves, which were filled with vintage objects like old televisions, radios, and other memorabilia. It was almost like being in a living room from another era, and I found myself wondering about the stories behind each item. The whole setting was so carefully curated that it made me reflect on the history behind these objects while also appreciating the artistic design of the space.

Throughout the evening, I found myself constantly engaged, whether it was with modern art like the “YO” sculpture or the more historically themed rooms inside. The variety of exhibits kept everything fresh and interesting. I also enjoyed being there with other Macaulay students, exploring the museum together, and having conversations about what we were seeing.

Overall, the “Night at the Museum” was both fun and thought-provoking. I loved how the exhibits offered a mix of playfulness and depth, making it an unforgettable experience that was far more engaging than a typical museum visit.
