Family and children’s programs are specifically designed with young visitors in mind. Our programs allow our youngest visitors to respond to colors, shapes and the physical environment, while programs for older children will help develop critical looking skills and self-confidence. Families will enjoy the Museum’s programs and activities that reflect and enhance the current exhibitions. Please check this page often for upcoming family programs and descriptions.
