Family Day

Some offerings detailed below require advance registration; for all others, general registration is encouraged but not required—walk-in visitors are always welcome. See further details below.

Please join us at the Harvard Art Museums for an afternoon of family-friendly activities open to all ages. Explore the museums with scavenger hunts; use your eyes, mind, and imagination to engage deeply with works on view; and step into a scene from LaToya M. Hobbs’s Carving Out Time in our Materials Lab makerspace.

Advance registration for the afternoon event is encouraged, but walk-in visitors are always welcome. Registration is required, however, for the family-friendly Spotlight Tours and Family Workshops; tickets for those events will be distributed on-site on a first-come, first-served basis. Space may be limited due to capacity.

Registration opens on Wednesday, April 3, beginning at 10am.
