My Very Own Illuminated Manuscript

In this miniseries children first become illuminators, then book binders, as they discover ancient book making techniques based on the Morgan’s superb collection of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts and the dazzling modern illuminated works of Barbara Wolff on view in the exhibition Hebrew Illumination for Our Time: The Art of Barbara Wolff.

Part 2: Putting It Together

If you have attended Part 1 of this miniseries, “Colors and Gold,” you may bring your illuminated pages back to the Morgan and bind them into a book with book artist and educator Stephanie Krauss. If you have not, you can still make a beautiful blank book. All children will use high quality professional materials to decorate. Appropriate for children age 8 and up only.*

* Please note that, due to the art materials being used, museum staff may not allow participation in the program if you arrive with children age seven or younger.

Please call (212) 685-0008 ext. 560 or e-mail tickets@themorgan.org for information.
