Adventures in Art
Our art studio is designed to provide inspiration for children to explore their inner creativity with programs that change twice a month. Daily Discoveries, led by Museum staff, provide children with opportunities to learn about math, science and social studies. The self-guided Art Adventures program encourages children to be creative using unique tools and art media.
