A museum should be a place of learning and fun for people of all ages. Our family programs provide enriching educational experiences about art and history in an atmosphere that is diverse, compelling, and entertaining. These programs have been planned with the needs and schedules of our audiences in mind. From weekend programs to family festivals, from school vacation art programs to special curricula for home school students, the Albany Institute offers a wide variety of activities that will engage your family in enjoyable and educational free-choice learning.
