About Family Days
Held three times a year, Family Days invite adults and kids of all ages to discover the richness of world cultures, the science behind artmaking, and the stories behind artists and their art. Activities include artist demonstrations, hands-on art projects, and music and dance performances. Each Family Day is tied to a world culture and draws on the museum’s collection of art, which spans nearly 5,000 years of history.
