The evening saw ‘celebrations of oceanic proportions’
UK - The Natural History Museum in London made waves on New Year’s Eve with 700 guests celebrating Under the sea festivities inspired by the Hintze Hall’s newly-installed blue whale skeleton.
The evening saw celebrations of oceanic proportions organised by Amy O’Brien, senior event co-ordinator, in partnership with Guilty Pleasures who provided DJs and live entertainment.
During highly competitive games of Musical Bingo, guests battled it out marking off songs played in Museum-themed rounds to win a range of prizes from the shop. Revellers also engaged with the latest ‘Massaoke’ craze sweeping the nation, a mass participation karaoke sing-along with crowds guided by big screen lyrics.
White Light enhanced the spaces with lighting and audio elements to create an immersive experience for the party-goers with atmospheric soundscapes throughout to help bring the nautical theme to life. Dappled water effects washed over the ceiling and architecture and the Museum galleries were beautifully lit in shades of blue and green to complement the Under the sea party environment.
Robert Wetherell, head of venue hire and catering explains: “This year has seen a once-in-a-generation transformation of Hintze Hall and been incredible for showcasing the versatility of our event spaces. This Under the sea celebration draws a hugely successful 2017 to a close, and we look forward to further enhancing our offering to events clients for 2018.”
