Build Day
Calling all budding architects: Let’s build! Build Day is an all-ages family program, ideal for ages 12 and under. Elementary school artists will be featured. Join Hirshhorn Kids, District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) Arts, and Boolean Girl for a hands-on exploration of design and building.
Find us on the Hirshhorn Plaza. In the event of inclement weather, this event will move indoors.
Stroller parking is available in the Lobby and Lower Level.
