Family Programs
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 homeschool students, the
Albany Institute offers a wide
variety of activities that will engage
your family in
