The Children’s Museum of Manhattan is celebrating Women’s History Month by spotlighting pioneering female artists throughout the entire month of March.
Attendees of all ages can honor engineer Emily Warren Roebling—known for her contributions to the Brooklyn Bridge—by making their own bridges with wire, foam and other mixed media materials. Make like artist Augusta Savage, a central figure in the Harlem Renaissance, by creating a three-dimensional self-portrait inspired by her work. Get in tune with jazz icon Ella Fitzgerald by creating cardboard-tube microphones and crooning to the singer’s famous ballads, or tap into your inner scientist by sculpting teeny-tiny critters inspired by the work of entomologist Sophie Lutterlough.
Check out the full month’s lineup of activities at the CMOM website.
