Flappers & Fizz at The Durham Museum
For one night, we’re transporting to the Roaring Twenties, where style and art deco go together like Flappers & Fizz!
Fashion in the 1920s, they say, was more relaxed, comfortable and daring. Dare to make a little of your own fashion history? Add a little ritz to your wardrobe, gather friends and get your tickets for 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 & 𝗙𝗶𝘇𝘇, our next 21-and-over event, set for Saturday, February 22, 7-10PM, at the coolest juice joint in town – The Durham Museum!
It’s going to be the bee’s knees! Or shall we say, the cat’s pajamas?!

The 🗓️🗓️ has turned to February, which means we’re stomping closer – and closer! – to the much-anticipated opening of 𝘼𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝘿𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙨𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙨!
The only exhibition of its kind to showcase holotypes of dinosaur fossils, our next traveling exhibition immerses visitors in the thrilling hunt for never-before-seen fossils, and sheds new light on our planet’s ever-changing climate and geology. Examine fossils that reveal Antarctica’s past and come face-to-face with large-scale replicas of dinosaur species unique to the continent. Then, witness the persistent challenges and extreme conditions adventure-scientists face when exploring the “Lost Continent.”
𝘼𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝘿𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙨𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙨 is on display from February 15-May 4, 2025.
Learn more about the exhibit and our opening day activities! DurhamMuseum.org/dinosaurs
𝘼𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝘿𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙨𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙨 was developed by the Field Museum, Chicago in partnership with the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Discovery Place – Charlotte, NC, and the Natural History Museum of Utah. Generous support was provided by the Kenneth C. Griffin Charitable Fund.
The exhibit is supported locally by Mutual of Omaha, Valmont Industries, Inc., Kiewit Companies Foundation, Parker Family Foundation, Douglas County Nebraska, The Claire M. Hubbard Foundation, Howard and Rhonda Hawks, and The Durham Society. Media support provided by KETV NewsWatch 7.
It wouldn’t be a party without some of our favorite hoppers! We are excited to welcome back the Omaha Jitterbugs to this year’s Flappers & Fizz (21-and-over event) at The Durham Museum on Saturday, February 22, 2025, 7-10PM. Even canceled stamps will be cutting a rug with a lesson from these cats!
Boogie, spin, step, twist your way to tickets soon!

The look and feel of Christmas at Union Station presented by FNBO wouldn’t be possible without our super-talented and creative friends from Mangelsen's. From the blissful look of our 40-foot Christmas tree to the holiday décor visitors see throughout the Suzanne and Walter Scott Great Hall to the crafts provided for events, the Mangelsen’s team plays an integral role in bringing Christmas to life here at The Durham. We can’t thank Mangelsen’s enough for their long-standing support of Christmas at Union Station. It’s a partnership that dates back nearly 30 years!

We are very grateful for our partnership with Union Pacific Railroad. In fact, the connection between Union Pacific and Omaha’s Union Station goes very far down the tracks! Did you know that in the 1930s, Union Pacific employees selected and cut a tree along the railroad right-of-way in the Pacific Northwest, and then transported it to Union Station?
Today, Union Pacific Railroad, a longstanding sponsor of Christmas at Union Station presented by FNBO, continues to play a part in continuing our holiday tradition – providing their generous support for the season, as well as helping us harvest, transport and decorate Omaha’s official Christmas tree.

We are proud to again partner with Conagra Brands to Shine the Light on Hunger. Hunger exists in all 93 counties of Food Bank for the Heartland service area, affecting one out of every eight Heartland individuals. With your help, we can make this year a little brighter for those in need this holiday season!
When you visit The Durham Museum, consider dropping off a shelf-stable grocery item. Just look for the “Shine the Light on Hunger” dropbox inside the Suzanne and Walter Scott Hall Great Hall, and help our community partners in raising five million meals to support hunger relief efforts!
