Children love to collect, whether it is key chains, baseball cards, Barbie dolls, dust bunnies under their beds. This fall the Biggs Museum will feature two new series of motivating programs for children, Biggs Kids . Biggs Kids gives the opportunity for children ages 5 to 10 to be inspired by art and to learn more about the importance of art in our world and culture. For August, children will learn about portraiture and make their own self-portrait to take home.

Hands-on activities will entertain and educate children. This program, supported by Kraft Foods, is free to the public and will be held in the new program space in the Museum at 2:00.
Please pre-register by calling 674-2111 or e-mail [email protected].

Monthly
Self-guided Tours

Each month offers a theme for the self-guided tour of the museum. Children and adults will have fun exploring the Museum and finding the objects and works related to the monthly theme.

These programs are made possible, in part, by grants from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency committed to promoting and supporting the arts in Delaware and the Delaware Humanities Forum.
