Morgan Bookmarks: A Family Art Experience

Wednesday, May 26, 2020, 11:30 AM

Explore the museum from home with a live interactive tour. Each program will take a closer look at objects in the Morgan’s Collection Online, ranging from ancient to modern. Families will receive a creative prompt with each experience, for inspiration to write, read, or craft at home. This program is designed for adults with children present to enjoy together.

On Tuesday, May 26: Exercise your funny bone with manuscripts curator Sal Robinson, who will introduce families to the sublimely silly poetry of Edward Lear's illustrated nonsense alphabets.

Please note that the program will take place online. After registering, participants will receive a confirmation e-mail with instructions on how to participate using Zoom. We ask that you download the app in advance for the best user experience.
