The McLain Hall is at the heart of the Museum, featuring the originally mosaic marble floor that was laid in 1872 when the Museum was first opened. Lit my magnificent half-moon windows, the McLain Hall features wrought iron architecture and lofty ceilings that create an open and expansive space. With a large in-built bar, a dramatic spiral staircase and vibrant flanking galleries, the McLain Hall is a versatile and fun space for standing receptions, dinners, late night parties, breakfasts, awards dinner and themed parties.
