One Step Beyond continues its fourth season at the American Museum of Natural History. During this ongoing party series, guests can dance in the Museum's Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Hall of the Universe to the sounds of the biggest names in techno, electronica, hip-hop, and indie rock.
Guests can also enjoy a complimentary screening of one of the breathtaking Hayden Planetarium Space Shows. January's feature is Cosmic Collisions, narrated by Robert Redford, which reveals the explosive encounters that shaped our solar system, changed the course of life on Earth, and continue to transform our galaxy and universe. A beer and wine bar keeps the party going. Each ticket also includes one pass to the Museum for future use.
