Summer Break at the MFAH
*The event has already taken place on this date: Thu, 07/30/2026
When school’s out, the Museum is the place to be for creating memories to last a lifetime. On Thursdays, families are invited to enjoy gallery activities with teaching artists. Explore the art on view and experiment with new materials, tools, and processes to create your own art. Coloring sheets, colored pencils, and knowledgeable educators help spark discovery about the world of art.
