Paint and decorate spring eggs, create your own royal headband, and take a picture around the Haft Seen table. Explore the galleries with family-friendly talks from ISAC scholars and try your best to complete interactive scavenger hunts and gallery puzzles around the museum. Enjoy delicious Persian snacks and tea before gathering for a special musical performance by members of the Middle East Music Ensemble, featuring such instruments as the `ud, clarinet, baglama, violin, cello, qanun, and double bass.
