Unique venue for social, business or academic events
— An Eventective User
from Phoenix, AZ
Don't let the name fool you -- this is no staid law library. A truly unique event venue with graphic novel-style exhibits that are both entertaining and educational. We recently held a small family reunion lunch at the museum. Guests enjoyed browsing exhibits throughout the event. Melissa went above and beyond to help us plan our get-together and Gabe was an excellent point person throughout our visit. Highly recommend for any small social, business or academic event.
