Families with children ages 5 and under can drop in at Early Explorers from 10 a.m. to noon on Friday, Sept. 11. Create and discover with hands-on activities in the Creativity Lab, and explore the galleries.
Family Day: Baskets is set for Saturday, Sept. 26, from noon to 4 p.m. Visitors can see a wide variety of examples from the museum collections, explore materials, create basket-inspired art and search the galleries on a scavenger hunt.
