EXHIBITIONS

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
May 8–June 1, 2008 PAGE AT A TIME EXHIBITION—What do personal conflict, child labor, and global warming have in common? Books.

Page at a Time is an innovative arts education program developed by The Wolfsonian for fourth- through sixth-grade students. The works of students from Dante B. Fascell, Edison Park, Myrtle Grove, South Pointe, and Southside elementary schools, and Shenandoah Middle Museums Magnet School are on display in the museum’s lobby. Free.
