A city worth celebrating
Did you know that Joliet is the third largest city in the state of Illinois? Also, unlike much of Illinois, Joliet continues to grow in population year after year. Joliet has a rich heritage, as a river and rail town that helped build America in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Joliet Montessori School (JMS) also has a 53-year history as a quiet, not-for-profit backbone of the civic spirit we have in the Joliet community. Now celebrating their 53rd year of Montessori education, JMS has teamed up with the Museum for a special night of rooftop drinks and apps, plus full access for you and your friends to all exhibits.

In addition to having exclusive access to the Museum for the evening, guests will also get to participate in a split-the-pot raffle, a cork pull, and a silent auction with a huge variety of unique and luxurious items to choose from.
