Programs for Families


Family Activity Books

Enjoy family time with a museum twist! Families can create and discover together with printable books that feature coloring sheets, search activities, and drawing exercises inspired by works of art in the MFAH collections.

 

Classes and Workshops

Classes and workshops at the MFAH are designed to offer an in-depth learning experience for the entire family. Homeschool Family Workshops provide curriculum-linked gallery experiences and studio projects for homeschool families in the Houston area. The Glassell Junior School, on the MFAH campus, offers art instruction for children ages 3 to 18. Year-round classes and workshops at Glassell run the gamut of creativity—from multimedia & cartooning to miniatures & wearable art.

Summer Art Explorers: Playing with Art!

Explore inspiring and extraordinary works of art. Take a trip through the Museum in person or online, and discover amazing art in the modern and contemporary collections. Print the downloadable guides to use at home, or bring them with you to the MFAH—the choice is yours. Available in English and Spanish, each guide contains activities, conversation starters, and instructions for an art project to make at home.
