Creating art at Mingei is no prob-llama! To celebrate Mingei’s new ART OF THE AMERICAS exhibition, join us this September to create your own llama or alpaca figurine! The llama and alpaca are ancient symbols for many South American regions. Many pre-Columbian civilizations of Peru, such as the Moche and Chimú cultures, utilized llamas and alpacas in many ways, including for wool and transportation.

Family Gallery Spotlight: Look, listen and share ideas with a Museum Educator during a 15 minute gallery spotlight specifically geared toward children and families. Offered at 1:30pm & 3:30pm.
