The Spurlock Museum joins with the Russian, Eastern European, and Eurasian Center (REEEC) for a celebration of wooden toys and musical instruments. This free, family-friendly program will include a hands-on artifacts area, short informational talks about the items on display, storytelling sessions, and a fun giveaway bag for the first 25 visiting families.
Among the items in the touchables area will be examples of hand-carved toys with parts that move and sets of matryoshka, or nesting dolls. Family members will also be able to see and hear three traditional musical instruments. Short informational talks on the instruments and toys will be given at 2:30 pm (toys) and 3:10 pm (instruments) by REEEC representative Danielle Sekel.
Russian stories will be presented by Kim Sheahan Sanford, the Spurlock’s resident storyteller at 2:10, 2:50, and 3:30 PM. All the talks and storytelling will take place in the Museum’s new second floor Collaboration and Community Gallery.
Hand sanitizer will be available at all touch stations. We strongly encourage its use.
