Draw Me a Story: A Century of Children’s Book Illustration

Opening/Family Day Celebration

Saturday, February 11

10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. 

The Frick Art Museum

 

  

Stories and songs! Engaging performances! Awesome art! Lemonade and cookies! You’re invited to a family celebration to welcome our special exhibition Draw Me a Story: A Century of Children’s Book Illustration. Wander through the exhibition where you’ll be charmed by familiar and loveable picture book characters. Or, curl up in our cozy gallery reading nook, where you can choose a page-turner from a fun selection of children’s books.

We’ll have family- friendly presentations throughout the day with dancer Traci Yorke and puppet-maker Joann Kielar, and lots of cool book-related projects at our hands-on art station.

Family tours of Clayton will be provided at 10:15 a.m. and 12:15, 1:15 and 2:15 p.m. Tours are free for children 16 and under.

The Café will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but will not be serving entrees or afternoon tea. Download our Family Day children's menu here.

Oh, and one more thing: surprise us and come dressed as your favorite story book character! We’d love to take your picture next to the “wildest thing” in the museum. Free event, open to the public.
