The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science and its Board of Trustees will celebrate the second anniversary of the museum’s opening in Downtown Miami with the 3rd Annual Celebration of Science on Saturday, May 4, 2019. The gala fundraiser supports the museum’s exhibitions and learning programs, while also commemorating its continued commitment to scientific excellence. This year, the museum will honor Dr. Eugene J. Sayfie with the 2019 Visionary Award, which recognizes and celebrates a commitment to the community through visionary leadership that enhances scientific, technological and/or educational excellence. Dr. Sayfie, a retired cardiologist and former associate professor of medicine and Medical Director of Executive Health at UHealth, revolutionized healthcare with his unique philosophy and personalized treatment approach. He also previously led a comprehensive care facility at UHealth, The Eugene J. Sayfie, M.D., Pavilion for Excellence in Patient Care. Last year, the museum honored Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez with the 2018 Visionary Award.
This year’s gala theme, The Science of the Senses, will take guests on a sensory journey through the museum’s Aquarium and unique exhibitions with a roving dining and entertainment experience designed to stimulate their sense of wonder. Performances by student groups of the Frost School of Music, curated by Dean Shelton Berg of the Frost School of Music, will set a lively tenor, with diverse ensembles performing jazz, opera and symphonic sounds. Interactive science experiments, animal encounters, dazzling visual displays, olfactory discoveries, and an inspired food and cocktail menu will delight and awaken each of the senses. With the creative tasting menu provided by Constellation Culinary Group and decor designed by Shiraz Creative, guests should expect the unexpected while taking a culinary and artistic journey through their own sensory worlds. Specialty libations will be presented by Castle Brands. A recognition ceremony and award presentation for Dr. Sayfie will take place during the event’s VIP Pre-Party (7 to 8:00 p.m.), the first of three unique experiences included in the gala, which also include a Main Event (8 to 10:00 p.m.) and The Big Bang after party (10 p.m. to midnight).

The Big Bang: Sixth Sense After Party, the late-night portion of the event, will celebrate the Sixth Sense and the possibilities hidden behind the concept of extrasensory perception.

Big Bang guests will begin their night in the museum’s Frost Planetarium with unique musical performances followed by late night revelry on an interactive dance floor with mind-bending sounds by DJ Arlette Carlin.
