Museum Family Day

Free Admission

Sunday, July 19

12:00 P - 5:00 P

Join us for a pachyderm-sized party in honor of the Museum’s newly acquired sculpture of Ganesha—the elephant-headed, candy-loving, dancing Hindu god of yoga, wisdom, and new beginnings. Groove to the sounds of pulsating Indian music, create art projects, hear stories, and enjoy Indian snacks in this fun-filled afternoon for all ages.

In partnership with the India Cultural Association of Portland. Museum admission on July 19 and participation in Museum Family Day is free for all visitors.
