For kids (and adults!) of all ages

Make some noise for a special Maker Morning exploring sound at our hands-on activity stations throughout the Museum and Sculpture Garden. Build noise-makers, play in the tot “sound space,” and create a collaborative sound sculpture. This event is part of Sound Scene, a three-day event in partnership with DC Listening Lounge.

Wheelchair accessible entrance to the Sculpture Garden is on the National Mall side of the Garden. 

Stroller parking is available.

In case of inclement weather, check in the Museum Lobby for our indoor locations.
