Join us for a bling-filled day looking in the Museum as we learn about New York City long ago! Explore costumes, jewelry, portraits, and decorative objects in the exhibition Gilded New York that were created between the mid-1870s and the early 20th century. Then use beads and gems to create a unique jewelry piece to wear home!

Family Programs are made possible by the generous support of: Brenner Family Foundation | Lone Pine Foundation | Lulu & Leo Fund | Milton & Sally Avery Arts Foundation
