THIS WEEK
This November, let’s explore the revitalized Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden together.. We’ll start off by visiting Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti’s Monume n tal Head (1960), a portrait of his brother Diego. After celebrating sibling relationships in a read-aloud of Louise Loves Art , we’ll make our own sculptures of a loved one using wire and tinfoil.
Featured book: Louise Loves Art by Kelly Light
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Storytime Studio is a one-hour experience.
There are two Storytime sessions each Wednesday, with entry times at 10 and 11 AM. Participation for each adult and child is limited to one hour.
No pre-registration is required.
Entry to Storytime Studio is first-come, first-served. Once the 10 AM session reaches capacity, you’ll be given the option to return for entry to the 11 AM session.
Storytime Studio has limited capacity.
We’ll pause further entry when both sessions reach full capacity to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Due to limited capacity during this public drop-in program, school, youth, and other large groups of eight or more (adults and children) are encouraged to reserve a group program by contacting HMSGEducation@si.edu .
Everyone is welcome.
Nursing caregivers are welcome. If there are services or accommodations that can improve your experience (e.g., ASL interpretation, live captioning, etc.), please contact HMSGEducation@si.edu . We appreciate receiving such requests at least one to two weeks in advance.
