The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston presents Sunday Family Zone & Studio: Fine Furniture - Investigating an American Cabinetmaker. Sundays, August 12-26, in both the Beck and Law Buildings.

Every Sunday, it's ArtTime/FamilyTime at the MFAH. On August 12, 19, and 26, look for the signs in the main lobbies to tell you which gallery the Family Zone is located in that day. Spend some time with the friendly family educators: Sit on a pillow and read; sketch a work of art; and join an investigation of an artwork. In the studio, enjoy an art project inspired by original works of art on display in the Family Zone.

This suite of programs, related to Duncan Phyfe: Master Cabinetmakerin New York, includes::

Sunday Storytime Make connections between a storybook and a work of art in the galleries. (begins at 1:30 pm)
