The Jewish Museum Announces Family Activities for Mondays in July

The Jewish Museum will present fun-filled family activities on Mondays in July celebrating the colorful paintings of artists Kehinde Wiley and Edouard Vuillard. Highlights include gallery tours with art activities on July 9, 16, 23 and 30; and a drop-in art workshop every Monday in July. These programs are FREE with museum admission.

In addition, families can visit Archaeology Zone: Discovering Treasures from Playgrounds to Palaces. In this engaging and thoroughly interactive experience, children become archaeologists as they search for clues about ancient and modern objects. Visitors can discover what happens after archaeologists unearth artifacts and bring them back to their labs for in-depth analysis. Children ages 3 through 10 magnify, sketch and weigh objects from the past and the present, piece together clay fragments, interpret symbols, and dress in costumes.

The Jewish Museum also offers a state-of-the-art audio guide for children ages 5 to 12 to its permanent exhibition, Culture and Continuity: The Jewish Journey. Visitors are able to enjoy the children's audio guide free with Museum admission. The audio guides are sponsored by Bloomberg.
