Family programs at the University of Alaska Museum of the North will explore the theme of spring in May.

Junior Curators, designed for children ages 6 and older with an adult, will be held on Saturday, May 4, from 2 to 4 p.m. Drop in anytime to learn to identify butterflies and create a model butterfly collection, explore signs of spring, see and touch museum objects, and try a scavenger hunt. 

Families with children ages 5 and under are invited to drop in at Early Explorers on Friday, May 10, from 10 a.m. to noon. Create and discover with hands-on activities in the Creativity Lab, and explore the galleries.

These programs are included with admission and are free for members.
