Join us for a trip to the new (opened June 2026) National Geographic Museum of Exploration followed by an optional lunch at close-by Bocqueria Dupont. “For more than a century, National Geographic Explorers have embarked on daring expeditions, made groundbreaking discoveries, pushed the boundaries of what’s possible and shared these incredible stories with the world. Now, we invite you to be part of the experience with the National Geographic Museum of Exploration. Experience the world like never before through museum exhibits and immersive experiences that reveal the wildlife, landscapes, communities and cultures that make up our incredible planet.”

It features cutting-edge technology, towering multi-sensory displays, and real-world expedition artifacts designed to ignite curiosity and bring the work of over 15,000 explorers to life.

Senior tickets are $26 and the event is full - contact Elizabeth or Marilyn for details if you would like to purchase tickets on your own.

The museum is a 5-minute walk from the Farragut North red line Metro stop. Attendees can meet Marilyn Pike at the Bethesda Metro lower level platform near the elevator at 9:30 a.m. or at the Museum entrance at 10:20 a.m. Contact Marilyn with questions and to let her know where to meet you.
