The DiMenna Children’s History Museum at the
New-York Historical Society will host its second annual
Family Benefit Party — History
Surprises! —
on Saturday, January 25, 2014. Families
will discover the past together, with tailor-made and
meaningful hands-on activities, experiences, and food.
Parents and their children (ages 4 - 14) will also have the
opportunity to take over the New-York Historical Society's
magnificent galleries and explore special exhibitions on
view, including Beauty's
Legacy: Gilded Age Portraits in America and The
Armory Show at 100: Modern Art and Revolution.
Proceeds
from the Family Benefit help the New-York Historical Society
and the DiMenna Children’s History Museum continue to
provide a one-of-a-kind opportunity for children and
families to discover the characters and events that shaped
our nation's history. Through interactive museum experiences
and unique family programming, as well as school programs
serving students in school and in the museum, the New-York
Historical Society annually serves more than 40,000 family
visitors, 200,000 New York City school students, and
thousands of teachers. In addition, the Family Benefit helps
the New-York Historical Society care for a priceless
collection, made fully accessible to the public. |
