Museum Materials

Homeschool groups and families are invited to join us the last Wednesday of the month as we look at the culture, history, math, and science of art! Every month we will explore a new idea or special exhibition, and visitors will receive a pre-packaged learning bag with a guide and activity. Museum docents, educators, and other specialists will meet you in the galleries to lead conversations and answer questions. All ages are welcomed; program geared towards grades K-6.

You can make art using just about anything, but how do artists make works that can survive for hundreds, and even thousands, of years?! Join us as we discover the science behind some of our favorite museum materials, looking closely at marble, metal, minerals, and more! Participants will receive a pre-packaged learning kit with activities and games to guide their geological journey through the galleries. 

Free for members, through Museums for All, or with the cost of admission.

Spots are limited. Advanced registration recommended! 

Please note: Due to the uncertainties related to COVID-19, this event is subject to change.
