Carnegie Museum’s Summer At The Museum Program Has Started!

Explore the Carnegie Museum with our Summer at the Museum program! Children, pre-school through early teens, are encouraged to sign up for the 14th annual Summer at the Museum program at the Carnegie Museum starting June 1. The program runs through August 6, with registration continuing throughout the summer.

Multiple visits to the museum over the course of the summer will allow kids to complete different sets of activities and earn a prize for each. Activities will vary by age, with the younger kids doing different activities than the older ones. All answers can be found in the museum, and the museum staff is always available to give hints and/or explanations. Summer at the Museum activities include puzzles, scavenger hunts, science experiments, and much more. Our current exhibit Slate to Tablet: 200 Years of Education in Montgomery County is featured, with many of the activities involving the content of those displays. Groups and individuals can contact the Carnegie Museum at 765-362-4618 for more information or to book a tour or field trip. Both Summer at the Museum and admission to the Carnegie Museum are free.
