STORYTIME: Shadow Play

Shadows are everywhere—even in the Museum! Use your imagination and discover new ways to see artworks. Following a children’s read-aloud, stay and play with flashlights and other light sources. Explore the shadows you can make using your body and the space around you.

STORYTIME explores contemporary art through stories and movement. Museum staff will read aloud a book, introduce children to an artist in the collection, and lead a hands-on activity. Nursing moms welcome. Stroller parking is available in the Hirshhorn lobby. Groups of 10 or more should contact mcgettigant@si.edu to reserve a program in advance. Please note: snacks are not allowed inside the Museum, but you may eat outside on our Plaza before or after the program.
