Nasher art museum lines up free summer activities for kids, families

Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University has some fun and FREE activities for families this summer.

Here's what's on the schedule:

Bilingual Storytime

In collaboration with the Durham County Library, the museum has a monthly Bilingual Storytime series for kids ages 1 to 5 and their families.

The storytime takes place in the museum's galleries. Kids listen to a story, read in both English and Spanish, participate in a quick discussion about art and then take part in a hands-on art making opportunity.

The storytimes take place this summer from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., June 13, July 11 and Aug. 8.

Nasher Creates

The museum also will host summer Nasher Creates programs. These drop-in creative workshops are designed for kids ages 5 to 10 and their parents. Activities are all free with museum admission (and admission is free for kids 17 and under). Admission is $7 for adults, $5 for seniors ages 65 and older and $4 for non-Duke students with a student ID.

Nasher Creates programs for kids are on Nasher's summer calendar, so far, for 10:15 a.m. to noon, June 13 and June 27.

Nasher is on the campus of Duke University and just down the street from Duke Gardens. Put the two together, and you have a great day out this summer.
