Why Monarch Madness?
Every Geek Gala tells a story. This year's Monarch Madness celebrates one of nature's most remarkable journeys. Monarch butterflies symbolize exploration, resilience, transformation, and discovery—qualities that reflect the Museum's mission to inspire curiosity through science, history, and lifelong learning.
Throughout the evening, guests will encounter experiences inspired by monarch migration, adaptation, conservation, and the natural world.
The monarch's remarkable transformation inspires this year's Geek Gala theme.
