Some details on the projects:
Scavenger Hunt
Not sure where to start? Maybe this is your first time at
the museum? Try the scavenger hunt first. This interactive activity is a fun
way to get kids excited about exploring the museum, and together you can
generate thoughtful ideas about the artwork that you see.
Gigantic Kinetic
Mobile
Play with silhouettes and light as this large collaborative
sculpture comes to light behind a curtain. Inspired by the work of Frank Pahl,
an artist featured the current DETROIT: ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE exhibition in the
main building.
Tin Can Telephones
Create and decorate your own tin can telephones and transmit
your own stories and sounds with your family and friends, also inspired by a
featured DETROIT: ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE artist Jessica Frelinghuysen.
Draw Clouds
Contemplate the sky and the outdoors and draw what you see. This
project is inspired by Design 99’s solar and wind-powered installation Following the Sun 2 in the DETROIT:ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE exhibition.
Trace of Memory
Add your own web of yarn and weave in your personal trace of
memories in a large collaborative yarn installation inspired by Chiharu
Shiota’s installation Trace of Memory in
the new 516 Sampsonia Way gallery.
Hot Chocolate Bar
There’s a lot of art to see and a lot of projects to do, so
we know you’ll need a break at some point in the day. That’s why we made sure
to set up a FREE Hot Chocolate Bar with all the fixins. That’s a treat you can really get
into.
In addition to the activities in the lobby, we’ll have a lot
of extra museum educators and volunteers in the galleries to help make the day
fun and educational. Hope to see your entire family there!
