Who Stole Christmas at the North Museum?
A Brand New Holiday Whodunit

All December Long

All December long, the North Museum of Nature and Science will be hosting a “Holiday Whodunit,” complete with forensic activities, holiday-themed exhibits, and games to help solve the question: Who stole Christmas?

This museum-wide and month-long event is an excellent opportunity for children of all ages to explore forensic science by examining fibers via microscope, identifying fingerprints, investigating crime scenes, and more. Additionally, our special holiday-themed planetarium show, Season of Light will add to the family fun. Oh, and did we mention the Hot Chocolate Bar?

THE GRINCH

Rated ‘PG’
Length: 92 minutes

The Grinch and his loyal dog, Max, live a solitary existence inside a cave on Mount Crumpet. His main source of aggravation comes during Christmastime when his neighbors in Whoville celebrate the holidays with a bang. When the Whos decide to make Christmas bigger and brighter, the disgruntled Grinch realizes there is one way to gain peace and quiet. With help from Max, the green grump hatches a scheme to pose as Santa Claus, steal Christmas and silence the Whos’ holiday cheer once and for all.

SEASON OF LIGHT
