THE MCLAIN HALL
The McLain Hall is at the heart of the Museum, both literally and historically, featuring the original mosaic marble floor that was laid in 1872 when the Museum was first opened. Lit by magnificent half-moon windows, the McLain Hall features wrought iron architecture and lofty ceilings that create an open, expansive space. At one end, the dramatic spiral staircase provides both a beautiful vista and a dramatic location for wedding entrances, musical performances and speeches.
With a large in-built bar, the McLain Hall is a fabulous spot for a drinks reception, dancefloor party, or bar/bat mitzvah. For more formal seated dinners or wedding receptions, guests can dine beneath the sweeping ceiling and overhead balconies.
