Join Hirshhorn Kids on Wednesdays for a one-of-a-kind Storytime experience! Storytime is always free, no reservations or tickets required.

Each week offers a fun and fresh theme for kids (from birth to age 8) and their caregivers. We encourage everyone to get hands-on with our art projects inspired by the Hirshhorn’s collection, plus enjoy read-alouds filled with music, tales, and tons of movement.

Storytime is currently a drop-in experience. Join Hirshhorn educators any time between 10 am–noon; read-alouds take place at 10:30 am and 11:30 am. ASL interpretation is provided at the 10:30 reading.

Nursing caregivers are welcome. Stroller parking is available in the Hirshhorn Lobby and on the Lower Level. If there are additional access services or accommodations that can make your experience more inclusive, please contact hmsgeducation@si.edu. 1-2 weeks advance notice is recommended but not required.

Groups of 10 or larger interested in participating in Storytime should contact HMSGeducation@si.edu 1-2 weeks in advance with your group information and requested date.

The Hirshhorn Kids email newsletter is crafted by educators who help kids get creative at their own pace by delivering the latest art opportunities in-person and online, including at-home projects and tips.
