A program for the Museum’s youngest visitors and those who care for them, Meet the Museum provides toddlers ages two through three years old with opportunities to experiment with and explore art and culture through song, gallery activities, and art making. Adult companions work closely with their children and discover creative and fun ways to interact.
Thursdays, 11 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
