December 27, 2020–January 2, 2021

Every year at the museum we pull out all the stops while kids are out of school. This year, we’re creating a special at-home experience for your family to make the most of this unusual post-holiday season!

• Special Winter Wonder Week editions of our MCM at Home programs: Wintertime and cold-weather activities to keep kids engaged and learning all winter break. See below for our Winter Wonder Weeks Youtube playlist.
• Winter Wonders Photography Contest for kids 12 and under: Get outside and let your child have some fun with photography this winter. Submit your child’s photos digitally anytime from now until the end of January for a chance to win prizes that will help you make the most of winter and see their work displayed in our art gallery when the museum reopens
• Old Befana Zoom Show for MCM Members, 12/27, 2 p.m.: Ken Lonnquist, one of our favorite performers, is creating an online version of his popular reinterpretation of the classic legend of Befana, the “Christmas witch.”  He’ll host a free, private performance, just for MCM members. Members should watch their inbox for the registration link.
• Pick-Your-Own-Time Magic New Year’s Eve Party & Countdown: Want to send 2020 packing a little early? On the morning of January 1, we’ll post the video for our New Year’s Eve party, complete with a countdown and spectacular “ball” drop—you decide when you want your family to watch it. James the Magician, another favorite performer, will host, accompanied by special guests
• Winter Break Craft Kits: Our first batch of holiday craft kits sold out in under three hours! A second kit, with all new craft projects, will be ready for sale with curbside pickup before winter break begins. SOLD OUT.

More details will be coming soon, so watch your inbox!
