Each Wednesday morning an educator reads a picture book aloud, then families play and explore an art activity tied to a work in the museum — in November the sessions visit the renovated Sculpture Garden, such as Yoshitomo Nara's Sentinels of Stillness (Nov 18) and Raven Halfmoon's Dancing at Dusk for a thank-you themed session (Nov 25). Sessions start at 10 and 11 am; capacity is limited and entry is first come, first served. A Spanish-language version, Estudio de Cuentos, runs on the last Tuesday of each month (e.g. Nov 24) with facilitation entirely in Spanish. ## Similar picks in Washington, DC - [Open Studio: November Sculpture Saturdays at the Hirshhorn](https://grassyknees.com/washington-dc/activities/open-studio-november-sculpture-saturdays-at-the-hirshhorn--listing-eb3aa648203022bc72a5b085) — Sat, Nov 14 (+2 more dates) · 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM · Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden — Art School · Free · checked Oct 24.
