Sadly it was really on the down swing after the 2019 firings. I had been going to the museum for years ever since it opened. In 2017 and 2018 they started experimenting with live events and parties, like a Blade Runner 2049 release party with actors dressed up as blade runner characters, a full bar making futuristic mixed drinks, etc.--it was awesome. There was a tech themed burlesque show with performers covered in LEDs and such. They did other fun stuff like a retro 80s party night to celebrate opening a new 70s/80s themed wing of the museum. They would host local events like the retro game meetup, mechanical keyboard meetup, etc. It was really growing and turning into a fun geeky social space.
And then in 2019 Vulcan fired everyone responsible for making it great. No more after hour parties/events. Just as things were starting to take off they ruined it, and then the pandemic hit and it was done for good.
It's a real shame and I hope someone who appreciates the museum can take control of it and rescue it from Vulcan.
