WhatThis Father’s Day, SFMOMA hosts its bi-annual Family Day, a special museum-wide celebration featuring hands-on art projects, music and performances for the whole family. Children are free with $2 admission for accompanying adults.
“Family Day is consistently our most popular family program,” says Eduardo Pineda, Assistant Director of Education at SFMOMA. “Inspiring families to be creative is an important part of the Museum’s mission. SFMOMA is a special place where adults and kids not only look at great works of art but they make them too!”
