Come to Long Island’s Gold Coast for a fun family day of crafts at the Nassau County Museum of Art on Jan. 15.
The event Merrymaking in a Gold Coast Mansion offers children an opportunity to discover what life was like in the early 1920s — before computers, TV, and electronic games.
The museum was the home of Childs and Frances Frick and their four children who read stories, made art, and performed plays for entertainment. Come dressed for a party inspired by the Frick family. Create a fancy hat and have your picture taken, just like the many portraits on view in the 100 Years of Photos exhibition, before embarking on a scavenger hunt throughout the museum. Design a picture frame with gems to showcase a favorite photo at home before joining us for a sweet — nut-free — treat.
Merrymaking in a Gold Coast Mansion, Jan. 15 from 1 pm to 4 pm. There is a $10 materials fee per family, plus museum admission.
