Friday Nights Just Got Weirdly Wonderful at the Mimms Museum

You could sit in Friday traffic on 400… or you could hang out next to an Enigma machine with a glass of wine in hand. Your call, but one’s clearly better.

The Mimms Museum of Technology and Art in Roswell is staying open late for Night Mode, a new summer series that turns the second Friday of each month into a low-key, high-curiosity kind of evening. We’re talking June 13, July 11, and August 8, 5 to 9 p.m., and yes—you can absolutely bring a date, your curious kid, or just your own nerdy self.

Here’s the vibe:

• No crowds, no rush—just a relaxed stroll through one of the world’s most impressive collections of digital-era tech
• An original Enigma machine, vintage Apple computers, Cold War tech with blinking lights and serious movie-villain energy
• A rare series of Salvador Dalí prints if you need something a little surreal to balance all the circuitry
• A card-only bar serving wine, beer, and soft drinks, because looking at supercomputers is better with a drink

This is for anyone who’s ever said “I’ve been meaning to check that place out.” Now you can, in the evening, with AC and without rushing.

Tickets are just regular admission—free for members (and members can bring a guest). No lectures, no forced mingling, no themed playlist. Just a cooler way to spend a summer Friday night in Roswell.

Throw it on your calendar and come poke around. You might end up staying longer than you planned.
