Cocktails and history and mummies, oh my! Join us for a very special collaborative event with students from the Museum Studies Program at San Francisco State University and staff from the University s Global Museum, who will provide an exclusive tour of Adolph Sutro s Egyptian Collection. At SF State since 1972, the collection houses over 700 objects including two mummies that are approximately 3,500 years old.
The event will begin at 6:00pm with a cocktail warm-up as our hosts teach you how to make Clara’s Punch (non-alcoholic) and Spirit of Nespaperennub (alcoholic), which was inspired by an artifact in the Museum collection. Then, sip your drinks as we give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of objects on display and in storage at the Global Museum. Play-by-play commentary will be provided by WNP s Nicole Meldahl and our good friend John Martini, and there will of course be a Q&A session to follow.

We sit down with Christina Lalanne for the first Happy Hour of what we hope will be a happier 2021. Christina recently received some well-deserved global attention for an article published in The Atavist about finding a secret diary hidden in the basement of her west side home during renovations. This is literally our dream and we can’t wait to ask her a million questions about it.
