Things to do in the Museum

We're excited to announce that our Museum Studios at Imagine Nation are now open to the public! We’ve reimagined our approach to offer both guided, facilitator-led experiences and self-exploration opportunities for children. This new model enhances educational experiences and fosters meaningful family engagement. Explore a range of workshops, community outreach programs, field trips, birthday parties, and special family events. For more details and to plan your visit, please check our calendar or just stop on by as walk-ins are now welcome!
