On Free Family Sundays and winter weekends, the museum hosts docent-led family tours, interactive storytimes, and scavenger hunts designed to engage curious young minds. The spacious galleries provide a peaceful, warm indoor environment where children can view ancient Egyptian sarcophagi, medieval armor, and Impressionist masterworks.
