NEW! Zoo Zone!

A HALF-DAY SUMMER CAMP FOR CHILDREN AGES 6-7

Kids will make their own masterpieces and sneak a peak behind gallery walls to see what goes on in the day-to-day operation of a museum. This is a great way to introduce your child to art making, the world of art and summer fun at the Museum.
