The Mermaid Museum Premiere – Los Angeles (Every Girl’s Dream Party!)
The Mermaid Museum finally exist! Well…not for long, but I got you covered for the inside scoop into all things Mermaid!
Last night, March. 21th, 2018, LA finally opened a Mermaid Museum — Hello! Can we say every girl’s dream!?
While doors weren’t officially opened for the public — only for the media on this night, I was one of those lucky girls that got to go under the sea and expierence it firsthand at the premiere event and I can’t wait to tell you all about it!
First things first though! The museum isn’t going to be there forever, in fact, it’s only going to exist from March.22-25! So if you’re in LA, you better head on over there and FAST! Tickets are FREE!
It’s located across the street from the Dream Hotel and Tao on Selma Ave & Cahuenga in Hollywood. Goya Studios (1541 N Cahuenga Blvd)

The event itself was hosted by POPSUGAR and Freeform’s new TV Series, Siren.
Upon entering the Mermaid Museum, you can’t miss the Mermaids & Mermen bathroom! Such a cute touch!
The Museum itself is set up into different section and because I was attending premiere event they went all out in the most mermaidest way possible!
HAIR & MAKEUP
HAIR
There was a stand to get hair and makeup done — mermaid style. The hair stands would style your hair in different kinds of braids and ideally specialized in the famous fishtail braid. I definitely had to take advantage of this because the entire day it was raining and everyone’s hair, including mine, was freezy, so problem solved.
MAKEUP
If only I knew that I’d also be getting mermaid-like makeup, I would have probably left the house earlier. These ladies seriously did the coolest mermaid makeup. Since I already had eyeshadow on, they gave me the ultimate mermaid glitter fin across my face!
A REAL LIFE MERMAID
The Mermaid Museum also featured a real-life tank/pool that featured a Siren mermaid that would swim across the tank underwater, every 2mins.
What are Sirens?
For those of you who don’t know what Sirens are, they are the OG of mermaids. Back in the day or as mermaid tales go… Sirens were mermaids that were beautiful and would seduce pirates and sailors, by singing to them. The moment the ships would stop and have a listen and get closer, they would turn evil and a bit scary and sink the ship and kill the men. Which is why this isn’t your typical beautiful mermaid. Later on in life, Disney created a whole otherworldly vision of what a mermaid looks like by making us all fall in love with Ariel. But the original idea of mermaids came from Siren which is what I’m guessing the show will be about.
MERMAID DONUTS & UNDER THE SEA COCKTAILS
You know you’re living out your mermaid dreams when you’re approached with mermaid theme donuts! This was definitely donuts goals for days (it even had glitter on it) and surprisingly enough, the donuts actually tasted better than they actually looked if you could believe that!
The party also featured some amazing finger foods, of course, all in under the sea theme.
But even more impressive was the cocktail menu, I mean my drink was glowing with under the sea mermaid vibes! I ordered the “Ocean Haze” cocktail which came with a purple/blue ice cube that looked like a stone rock. Every drink also came with an ice cube with a message in a bottle inside. If you were lucky enough to have your ice cube melt away, you were able to track a small glass bottle with a message inside of it! What a fun idea?!
PHOTO BOOTH
What would any event or any museum be like without an awesome Instagrammable moment?! The event/museum featured a few stunning photo opportunities for its visitors. One of them was sitting in a seashell bed, with a stunning vanilla sky backdrop. Another was a coral reef wall, the next was an under the sea moment with a mermaids tail and a cute seaweed style mermaid princess chair, for mermaid goddess! Have a look!
Such a fun night in LA!
I hope you get to go and have a blast!
