The Education team invites families to join museum educators every month to be inspired by the museum’s exhibitions and screenings to create, learn, and have fun!

This month’s workshops are inspired by the themes of friendship we see in our Family Matinee series. We see the creation of a friendship with Dog and Robot in Robot Dreams (2023), the hilarious friendship of Shrek and Donkey continue in Shrek 2 (2004), and the magical friendship between Howl and Sophie in Howl’s Moving Castle (2004). Families can create stop-motion animations highlighting their own stories of friendship.

Join us anytime at the times listed below in the Shirley Temple Education Studio on the museum’s Lower Level.

Check back soon... for upcoming workshop themes!

We encourage visitors to attend our weekly Family Matinees film series. A separate admission ticket is required.
