Members Event | Art Making for Families “Meiji Modern” Saturday, August 24, 2024 1 p.m.-4 p.m.
August 24, 2024
MFAH members at the Family Level and above are invited to reserve tickets for an art-making activity led by a teaching artist. This edition is inspired by the exhibition Meiji Modern: Fifty Years of New Japan.
Meiji Modern offers an extraordinary look at Japan’s Meiji era (1868–1912), when the country emerged from near-total isolation to enter a modern, global period. The exhibition brings together nearly 200 remarkable works of Meiji art that reveal the profound cross-cultural impact of Japan’s developing relationships with the wider world.
Tickets | FREE
Choose your one-hour time slot when you reserve your tickets. Activities are recommended for ages 4 to 12, with adult supervision.
