Ongoing Activities
 Children
and the young at heart enjoy the book and toy lounge featuring books related to
current exhibitions and toys that stimulate the imagination such as FolkManis
hand puppets, a variety of building materials and blocks, doll house, train set
(photo, left) and more! A generous selection of multicultural children's books
and books for adults makes this a must visit for families with children. Some
cases in the Girard exhibition Multiple Visions: A Common Bond have
special appeal to children, and are noted in the Gallery Guide. Lloyd's Treasure
Chest in the basement of the
Neutrogena Wing», is a unique opportunity for all ages to go behind
the scenes at the Museum. All age hands-on
art making projects on-line» and programs are offered seasonally, see
