The 25th Annual Desert Museum Gala

Centerpieces and Other Information

Gala 2018 Centerpieces

This year’s Gala centerpieces have been in such high demand that many have been pre-sold and we are unable to present them online for purchase. There will, most likely, be a limited selection of centerpieces for sale in the silent auction this year and we hope you will be able to purchase one or more there. We are delighted they have been so popular and apologize for any inconvenience.

“During our first visit to the Desert Museum in 1994 we agreed it was the best full spectrum natural history experience we'd ever had - and right here in our own backyard!
We've supported the Museum annually since then and encourage friends and business associates to do the same.”
