We will start distributing a numbered ticket to reserve your spot from 10 AM.

Nov 10, 2023 Update:
Open Campus 2023 concluded successfully. Tickets for the curation facility tour were fully distributed, all 400 of them, within just an hour of opening. Thank you for your interest. We apologize to those who attended but were unable to receive a ticket. We plan to begin the curation of the OSIRIS-REx samples next year, and hope to present them at the next open campus. Please look forward to it.
