Since we can’t be together to party at the Whaling Museum, you can set your own stage with one of the Virtual Night at the Museum zoom backgrounds we created to put you in the mood. There are static image and video versions of each. The video versions have an animated disco ball.
Many different devices support these backgrounds, and, unfortunately, many others do not. The easiest way to see if your device can use them is to give it a try.
Whether they work or not, we hope you’ll set your own scene and join us and DJ Mad Marj for a night of fabulous disco, fun, and frivolity!
