Celebrate imagination and heroism with Perler Bead Story Art. Inspired by Michael Chabon’s The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man, families will create characters, symbols, and scenes using colorful beads. At the STEM table, families will test super strength by building structures to support a hero figure and explore the science of force and stability. These activities connect to the comic book artistry of Tony DeZuniga and the Korshak Collection, illustrating how heroes and stories are built piece by piece.
Discover, create, and explore at the Haggin! 2nd Saturdays for Families are designed for children ages 5–12 and connect hands-on learning to the Haggin Museum’s temporary exhibitions and core collection. Each Saturday experience includes a creative art project, an engaging STEM activity, a docent-led read-aloud, and a self-guided “Explore the Galleries” activity families can enjoy together. These experiences encourage curiosity, observation, and imaginative thinking while helping children make meaningful connections between stories, science, history, and works of art throughout the museum.
Reservations are not required. Activities and materials are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are included with regular museum admission.
