A note from Columbian Ball 2023 Co-Chairs Pat and Kelly Basu:
Thank you for all who helped MSI celebrate its 90th anniversary at the Columbian Ball. MSI is both a world class museum and a testament. It is a testament to humanity’s quest for knowledge and excellence; to our determination and courage; and to our ability to work together to achieve what we once thought was impossible. Thanks to your support, millions who interact with MSI in the future can have their knowledge kindled, their imagination awakened and their hope restored.
