Duke's Nasher Museum of Art offers plenty for families this summer
If you haven't been to Duke University's Nasher Museum of Art in Durham lately, put it on your list.
Posted — UpdatedA playground is about the last place I want to be when the temperature hits 90 degrees and above. And that's why my kids and I have been seeking out fun activities at indoor places across the Triangle lately.
If you haven't been to Duke University's Nasher Museum of Art in Durham, put it on your list. The museum is offering free crafts for all ages for the second summer. And it recently opened "The Uncertain Museum," a highly interactive exhibit that my kids loved.
"We want people to come in and make personal connections to the art," the museum's Wendy Livingston tells me.
This week, a museum volunteer helped my kids make a Nasher memory book with paper and copies of pictures in the museum's collection.
My two-year-old was happy scribbling with marker and gluing a few of the pictures in her book. My seven-year-old glued each picture carefully in her book and then, on her own, decided to find each picture in the gallery and write down the title and artist. Of course, her younger sister was right there behind her, pencil in hand, "writing" down the information too. It was a great way to spend an hour or so.
Here's the rest of the schedule for the summer:
Mark your calendars: The museum's next free family day is noon to 4 p.m., Sept. 23.
