September’s museum family activities will include opportunities for children to sketch animals from the collections, such as Blue Babe, the mummified Alaska steppe bison shown here.
The University of Alaska Museum of the North will focus on sketching during family programs in September.
Families with children ages 5 and younger are invited to drop in at Early Explorers on Friday, Sept. 13, from 10 a.m. to noon. Create and discover with hands-on activities in the Creativity Lab, and explore the galleries.
Junior Curators, designed for children 6 and older with an adult, will be held at the museum on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 2 to 4 p.m. Drop in anytime to see and sketch animals from the collections, discover animal adaptations through observation and explore the galleries with a scavenger hunt.
Family Day: Sketching is set for Saturday, Sept. 28, from noon to 4 p.m. Visitors can explore the Thinking Made Visible exhibit, meet artist Jamie Smith, see art from the collections, create artwork and more. On Family Day, there is no admission fee for children ages 17 and under, thanks to support from TOTE.
These programs are included with admission and are free for members.
