SUMMARY:Art Detectives: Meet Me at the Art Museum

Afterward\, we’ll explore the KIA’s galleries and craft our own museum to take home \nPlease note: This program will use a different room and therefore can accommodate only 20 people (adults and children).

Join us as we read a story\, look at art\, and make a project to take home. Caregivers must stay with their children at all times.
