Report on Special Education Programs
Storytelling: Tales Hidden within Artworks Every Sunday from 2:00 p.m. during exhibitions (time may be subject to change) In the South Wing Lecture Hall
Our volunteer staff members narrate original stories based on legends and myths of artworks from our collection. Sound and images are interwoven into tales of Egypt, Greece, and China. These approximately thirty-minute sessions bring to life the art of antiquity. Please feel free to join us for this free program and open the door to the world of storytelling.
    A summer special program, Storytelling Festa, will be held on August 2nd and 9th. Please check our next issue for details.
