Time: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
I can name that artwork in three clues. Based on the old favorite "Name that Tune." Visitors see who can recognize an artwork with the fewest number of clues. Be careful not to overestimate your powers of deduction - the consequences could lead to serious laughter. Bring a "Take-and-Make" home to create your own artwork inspired by your museum visit. Children must be accompanied by an adult. "Take-and-Make" supplies are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Groups of 10 or more who would like to participate in the Second Saturday programs are encouraged to email education curator, Lara Gautreau to make a reservation at lgaut@lsu.edu.
