Our programming team will lead participants through The Rooms to find inspiration in our beautiful galleries, including our festive exhibit: The House of Wooden Santas.
What to Expect:
- We will learn the basics of storytelling
- We will design shadow puppets (all materials are included)
- We will premiere a shadow puppet show for friends and family
- We’ll also enjoy some hot chocolate and a cookie, visit the galleries and take in all the holiday decorations at the Rooms along the way
