April events at the @PhilaMuseum

One Christmas gift for the household was a membership to The Philadelphia Museum of Art. That membership has been very well loved and appreciated! Each time The Bee and I got to the museum we’ve found something new and different to check out and my fear of “art” is slowly going away.

The museum does a wonderful job making art accessible for all visitors and below is family programming for the month of April.

Take a look and check out some programs. If you go, you’ll probably see me near the Degas.
