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!

Our June workshops will focus on stories of love, belonging, and finding your place in the world. Create original storyboards and characters that tell your story! We are inspired by our Family Matinee screening of Pinocchio (1940) on Saturday, June 3 at 11am.

We are also excited to welcome the Bob Baker Marionette Theater at each of our workshops this month!

Join us anytime from 12:30pm to 2:30pm in the Shirley Temple Education Studio on the museum’s Lower Level for the workshop. The marionette show will be presented in our Sidney Poitier Grand Lobby from 2:30pm to 3:30pm.

Workshop & Show Dates:
Saturdays: June 3, 10, 17


Marionette Show
Bob Baker Marionette Theater celebrates love, self-acceptance, and community through a musical marionette lineup of proud puppets performing a confection of medleys from LGBTQ+ icons, queer history, and more!
