September 6 is a Target Free First Sunday at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, offers free admission all day, the first Sunday of each month, courtesy of support from Target.

As part of Target Free First Sundays, the museum’s education department plans an array of art activities, performances, films, and refreshments from 1 pm to 5 pm designed to give families an interactive experience, with an emphasis on current exhibitions.

That means free admission all day for everyone, and special family-friendly programs.

Come discover the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston inside and out! Enjoy family flicks, sketching, storytime tours, and geometric refreshments. The family flicks are shown in Brown Auditorium Theater on the lower level of the Law Building. Art activities are held in both the Law and Beck buildings, and refreshments are provided.

Sunday, September 6: Animals at the Museum.

Do you have a favorite animal? Come to the museum and see if you can find it in a sculpture, a painting, or even a gold ring from Africa! Celebrate the 1st birthday of the museum mascots, Naki and Mwamba, by using the collage technique to decorate a party crown that shows the mascots in different locations around the world. Create your own imaginary creature, inspired by one of Antonio Berni´s Cosmic Monsters. Get an up-close look at live animals with the Houston Zoo. Bend your body with some animal-inspired yoga in the galleries. Sketch your favorite animal, listen to stories of dragons, watch a Family Flick, and more!

Target Free First Sundays are free. No pre-registration necessary and you may drop in and stay as long as you wish.

Recommended Ages: 4+
