Join us for a morning out as our museum educator leads engaging gallery tours for parents and caregivers and their young ones. Crying and wiggly babies welcome!

This month's tour will explore our temporary exhibit: Splendid Treasures of the Turkomen Tribes from Central Asia; an exhibition showcasing silver and gilt jewelry, textiles, and rugs created during the late-19th through mid-20th centuries.
