3:30 to 6:30

The Vanderbilt Museum and The Heckscher Museum of Art are offering Our Home: An Earth and Art Adventure on Sunday, May 7, from 3:30 to 6:30 pm, for families with children ages 6 and up.

Begin your adventure at The Heckscher Museum of Art. Explore the exhibitions and create a masterpiece inspired by your home and the place we all call home – Earth!

Then, meet at the Vanderbilt Museum for a 30-minute live lecture on the night sky using the Planetarium theater’s amazing star-projection system. The presenter will show the objects that are visible in the sky the night of the event, including stars, constellations, nebulae, and galaxies. Visitors will then watch the full-dome film We Are Guardians.

Following the programs in the theater, weather permitting, guests will have an opportunity to look through one of the Vanderbilt Observatory telescopes and to create an earth-themed craft. Sandwiches, snacks, and soft drinks will be available for purchase in the Planetarium’s café.

$15 per person. Advance registration is recommended. Walk-ins welcome if space allows.

Register today or call (631) 380-3230.
