Fun for the Family this June at the MFAH!

Art Improv
Sunday, June 1, 1–4 p.m.
Families choose a work of art anywhere in the Museum and make friends with it—spend time sketching it, writing about it, and talking about it together. Then they visit the studio for an assortment of materials they can use to create a work of art inspired by the new "friends" and their own imaginations. Drop in to participate!


Family Storybook Circle
Tuesdays, June 3, 10, 17 & 24, 11 a.m.–12 noon
Tuesdays this summer, families are invited to join in a lively storybook adventure that connects art with fun and entertaining stories. Each week, Museum educators read a new storybook in the galleries and lead families on a brief exploration of the work of art related to the story. Meet in the Kinder Foundation Education Center and travel together as a group to the galleries with Museum educators leading the way! Recommended for families with children ages 2–7.


Summer Art Explorers
Thursdays, June 12, 19 & 26, 11 a.m.–2 p.m.
This summer, you are invited on a journey around the world! Each Thursday, explore and study a work of art from a different country. In the galleries, you can sketch, play games, and listen to stories. Then, head to the studio to create your own work of art inspired by the one being investigated that day.
