Morse Museum Summer Family Programs

This summer, the Morse Museum is creating even more opportunities to make the museum's renowned collection of works a rewarding experience in art for the whole family.

The museum's popular Summer Family Tours will resume every Tuesday in June and July.

But parents, grandparents, guardians and babysitters don't have to wait for a guided tour of the museum's galleries. On any day, they can ask for one of the museum's free family brochures, each designed to help visitors of all ages appreciate the beauty and technical skill of a Tiffany window or blown-glass vase. All children under age 12 receive free admission to the museum.
