TMA Second SundAZe

Discover what still lifes are currently on display in the museum. While visiting the galleries, think about what you are seeing. What is depicted in the still life? Are they realize or abstract? What materials is the artist using? On Second SundAZe in August, families will have the opportunity to explore different materials to create their own versions of three still lifes.

GIRL SCOUT EARNS FAB SUMMER TRIP

Aug 01, 2024

When I went on my Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Croatia trip I got to see and learn about the world! Myself and other Girl Scouts earned this trip by selling over 6,000 boxes of cookies.
