MAM After Dark Goes Silent Clubbing

Friday night, the Milwaukee Art Museum held its regular MAM After Dark event which is always a lot of fun. They open up the entire museum, have do it yourself art/crafts, scavenger hunts in the art galleries, trivia, a DJ (or two in this case) or live music, appetizers, and a cash bar. 

The music on Friday night was two competing DJs (silent clubbing). Everyone wore headphones which allowed you to tune into the one you preferred (and switch back and forth between the two). The effect of a roomful of people dancing to more than one song at a time can be pretty amazing to watch and quite liberating!

Here are some photos and video:

The first hour wasn't too busy on the dance floor.

By 9:30 p.m. the dance floor was packed!

They opened the wings at 7:00 p.m. and I think they stayed open most, if not all,  of the evening
