Homeschool Day - Art & History

Join the Museum for a full day of art & history programs specifically designed for homeschool families! 

Registration includes two drop-in workshops running on the hour at 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM, gallery activities and prompted exploration from 12:00 – 1:00 PM, and your choice of an age-appropriate Planetarium show: Magic Tree House Space Mission (grades 1-4) at 11:00 AM and Arora (grades 5 and up) at 1:00 PM.

Each Planetarium show includes a Q&A with our Assistant Curator for Science Education, Dr. Jacob Hamer, and workshops will focus on history & invention and art. Gallery cart activities in the American Perspectives and Pretty Big Things galleries will explore portraits and textiles.

Workshop Details:

Painting With Watercolors (located in the Imagination Studio) – Inspired by the "Robert Duran" exhibition currently on display, explore abstract art concepts and let the creativity flow with watercolors.

Building Bridges (located in the STEAM Center) – Learn about the Roebling family from Trenton, NJ and their impact on the Brooklyn Bridge. Test your inventing spirit and make your own model bridges, just like Emily Roebling.

Registration is $10 per person (students/siblings/adults), all adults and children attending need to be registered. Registration is open until March 3 or until each Planetarium show is full.
