Love is in the air for all! Celebrate friendship, community, and human connection of all kinds this February at Love at the Museum. Bring a friend, partner, or relative and join the Museum for an early Valentine’s (or Palentine’s!) celebration that’s all about togetherness.
Enjoy our free, fully-stocked chocolate and beverage bar while listening to a wonderful violin and cello duo from the Jacobs School of Music. Then, get creative with crafts: make your own luminaries, paint your own wax melts, craft custom holiday cards, and compose unique newspaper poetry. Last but not least, check out a variety of Valentine’s themed items from the collections stewarded by the Museum!
We can't wait to see you at this lovely and uplifting February program. (We'll all need the morale boost to make it through this winter!)
Free & Open to All
