Family Sunday—Rockin’ Roller Coasters
You’re invited to the Museum every Sunday for hands-on art activities and special interactive components for kids within the galleries. Each week’s activities focus on a different, family-friendly theme.
Join us for a Family Sunday related to the free exhibition New to the Museum: Prints, Drawings, and Photographs in Gallery 235 and the Sidney S. and Sadie M. Cohen Gallery 234.
New to the Museum celebrates 65 new arrivals that have not yet been displayed. Enjoy works on view for the first time, including Highlands, a work by longtime Washington University in St. Louis art professor Leslie J. Laskey.
This woodcut focuses on the now-demolished roller coaster that was a centerpiece of a legendary amusement park that stood on the current site of Forest Park Community College.
Create your own 3D roller coaster, and add yourself to one of the cars using our roller-coaster photo booth!
