Local Jewish photographer Aryeh Schwartz leads a photography workshop that goes beyond the phone's camera app to the artistry behind Bubley's pictures; families can pose in a 1940s-inspired photobooth and take their photo home; and an exhibition guide turns the galleries into a game of "chaiSpy," with a dedicated children's section on how to explore a photograph. Craft tables and games inspired by her portfolio round out the day. The museum says the program is best for ages 5 to 15 with their families. Tickets are free for children and adults (an optional $5 supporter ticket exists) and include free admission to the new exhibition; reserve them through the museum's SimpleTix page. Drop in any time between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. ## Similar picks in Washington, DC - [Carter G.
