Story Saturdays

Story Saturday is a monthly story time that takes place in Extraordinary Ordinary Things, our decorative arts and design collection galleries. Each month, assistant curator Alyssa Velazquez will read a different children’s book. After the story, Jena Schieb, manager of youth programs, will lead an art-making activity designed for children ages 12 and under.

Story Saturdays are free with museum admission. We hope to see you in the galleries!

To purchase past and present Story Saturday titles, checkout Carnegie Museum of Art Museum Store’s online reading section.
