This event is being rescheduled. Please stay tuned for the new date.
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 Knights in Shining Armor: The Pavia Tapestries. Enjoy an activity designed for families with children ages 4 to 12.
The exhibition presents an unprecedented look at some of the most awe-inspiring examples of these dynamic textile compositions, enhanced by the addition of full suits of intricate parade armor and stunning ceremonial weapons from the 16th century. Visit the Family Faire, located right in front of the exhibition, and engage in an interactive experience featuring three staged environments, hands-on activities, and a fun family activity guide.
