This interactive program will help children learn about Missouri’s cultural and artistic past through the famed works of George Caleb Bingham and give participants hands-on experience with replica clothing, toys, and other objects from the period, 1810-1880. Attendees will help Society Art Curator Joan Stack pack a suitcase for a trip back to the 1800s, using Bingham’s paintings as a guide for deciding if an object fits with the time period. Each child will also decorate an “explorer’s telescope” to take home as a memento of the experience. “Art Explorers” is designed for children in kindergarten through fifth grade, with at least one accompanying adult for every two participants. Admission is $5 per child, with no cost for adults. The program is free to Society member families.
