The Aquarium of the Pacific celebrated its 10th anniversary recently, and celebrated by throwing itself a huge birthday party exactly where most 10-year-olds would want to: under a blue whale.
The black tie Anniversary Gala welcomed over 700 guests to the Great Hall of the Pacific two weekends ago, where they were treated to drinks and exclusive views of the aquarium’s newest exhibit, “Top 10 Ocean Issues.” To read more about the aquarium’s anniversary and info about the new exhibit, read Mike Guardabascio’s piece here.
Diana Lejins was one of the distinguished guests and brings us these photos and captions from the dazzling night.
