Please Touch!

How often have you walked into a museum and wanted to jump right into a painting to lay on a beautiful landscape or touch the soft folds of beautifully painted silks? Join us on March 21st from 10 am-3 pm and do just that! From a red kerchief seen in “The Last Moments of John Brown” by Thomas Hovenden to the blue silk dress work of Anna Dorthea Finney and a simple copper pot in the chaos of “A Kitchen” by Hendrick Sorgh. With over a dozen paintings to interact with and covering several artistic periods, there will be something for everyone to touch! This program is free and will be occurring throughout the day.
