Storytime Studio: Iggy Peck, Architect

Creativity is vibrant on Wednesdays at Storytime Studio. Celebrate spring with your littlest artist. Every week offers a new adventure.

This week: Be an architect! Join us as we explore architecture through a read-aloud of Iggy Peck, Architect. We’ll take a close look at the Hirshhorn’s largest sculpture: our building! Then we’ll learn more about architecture and design through a hands-on building activity.
