The Lam Museum is a family-friendly attraction. Encourage your children to explore global cultures through the activities below.

Customized programs or variations on our school programs can also be booked for children’s groups. Contact us at 336.758.5282 or lammuseum@wfu.edu to discuss your group’s needs.


Family Programs

The Museum hosts themed open houses with craft projects, hands-on activities, music, and food. Learning about other cultures has never been so fun! Open houses take place on Saturday afternoons, and admission is free.

The Museum also sponsors occasional all-ages workshops in which participants learn about a particular culture and complete a related craft project. There is a small fee for these workshops.

Please visit our Events calendar of the site for information about upcoming programs.

Cultures Up Close

Each post gives information about a specific cultural topic, often relating to objects in the Museum collections, and instructions for a related craft activity.
