  • 10–11am | Family Workshop Visit the Shirley Temple Education Studio on the museum’s Lower Level for a Haunted Sounds Foley Art family workshop inspired by the accessible screening of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948).

The screening is part of our weekly Family Matinees film series. A separate admission ticket is required. The Shirley Temple Education Studio will remain open during the screening as a space for relaxation and continued art-making until 1pm.
