Homeschool Day: P.T. Barnum and His Cabinet of Curiosities
Description
Today, most people know P.T. Barnum through the name Barnum & Bailey Circus. But did you know he was better known as an illusionist, artist and performer? Barnum’s American Museum fascinated people of the 19th century with its clever use of science and technology to blur the lines between what is real and what is make believe. Join us for art, science and technology activities as we try to recreate Mr. Barnum’s museum! Mr. Barnum himself will join us for a tour of his Cabinet of Curiosities.
All come-and-go activities will be available from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and are designed especially for children ages 5 to 11. Parking is free, picnic space is available, and leashed dogs are permitted on site.
The Hermitage Mansion Tour is not included in your ticket but can be purchased for a small upgrade, subject to availability. Adult tickets are $22 each, and student tickets are $11 each. A Family Rate (one adult and three children) is available for $55. Members receive a discounted price of $17 for adults and $6 for students. Children 4 and younger are free but do require a ticket.
