## About

The Virginia Living Museum celebrates its 60th birthday with a day-long party for families. DJ Jay hosts a dance party in the Changing Exhibits Gallery from 11 am to 3 pm. Children can help decorate a giant birthday banner, add a favorite museum memory to the Memory Wall, pose at a birthday photo spot in the lobby and catch the T. rex Trek on the grounds. The museum's animals get birthday-themed enrichment through the day. Every guest receives an exclusive trading card, and the first 400 member children get custom VLM slime. It is also the last day of the museum's 60th Birthday Giveaway fundraiser.
