Mid-Winter School Break Family Drop-Ins

Drop in to the museum during February’s mid-winter school break for hands-on family activities!

On Tuesday, explore the world of sound. Check out music‑listening devices in Art of Noise, an exhibition about how music has been heard and shared over the last 100 years.  Find out how sound travels and learn about electromagnetism by building your very own paper‑cup speaker to take home.

On Wednesday, design and build your own pull toy with animated parts. Visit the exhibition Made in America: Industrial Photography of Christopher Payne to explore how things are made, from musical instruments to telescopes. Then use your design skills to prototype your own kinetic toy!

On Thursday, learn about the Carnegie Mansion (the museum’s home!) with our Kids Guide and use collage and gold-leaf to make a greeting card inspired by the Gilded Age.
