Workshop Themes
Move Like Animals
Take a deep breath
Gather together to make the sounds and motions of animals from around the world, listen to the story of a jungle hero, and track down animals in artworks in the galleries. Create rhythms with your body and with instruments from around the world!
Super Sculptures
Look deeply
Search the museum for fascinating Himalayan sculptures and learn about the materials used to make them. Let your imagination run wild as you sculpt your own imaginary creatures out of clay. Cover them in gold sparkles to make them shimmer!
Terrific Tibet
(for younger groups)
Build a mountain range together with crumpled paper and tape, go on a triangle finding expedition in the galleries, craft your own hairy yaks to climb your mountains and bring them together to make a herd!
