What's NEW at MOA |
The curatorial summer staff have been busy working on a new interactive exhibit in our permanent gallery space. On your visit, get your hands on pieces of history from clay pottery and pipes to grinding stones, projectiles, and lithics. (Last month, they also changed the Roots of a Nation exhibit to include artifacts from the Inuit, Metis and First Nation peoples of Canada.)
This summer, stop by for guided tours and interactive demonstrations in the afternoons! Visit our website for more details:
Educational programming staff have updated all of our birthday parties and created a new theme for ages 4-14: Creative Minds. Get crafty by making traditional crafts such as dream catchers, pinch pots, and painted rock totems, while learning about their history and significance. Learn more on our website!
