MANCHESTER, NH – Bring the man in your life – husband, grandfather, son – to the Currier Museum of Art on Father's Day. On Sunday, June 15 join special tours of the museum's collection, enjoy a special café menu, and stop into the museum shop for some great Father's Day gifts.
At 11:30am join museum docent Ted Parrot for a Father's Day tour "Celebrating the Arts of Man and Nature." This tour of the Currier's collection will celebrate works that center on images of fathers and sons, families, and the so-called "masculine" side of art (sports, important historical male figures, and so much more)!
At 1pm, kids can bring their dad and granddad to join Ted Parrot for a Father's Day tour "A Celebration of Family and Nature in Art." This tour will feature works of art that celebrate fatherhood, family, and fun. Then join Liam Sullivan, artist and Director of Enrollment and Student Services at the New Hampshire Institute of Art, for an art activity in the museum's studio on the lower level from 1:30 – 3pm.
All Father's Day tours are free with museum admission.
After your tour and art activity, stop into the Winter Garden Café for a fun omelet station and indulge in a bloody mary. On your way out, be sure to stop into the Museum Shop to get the perfect Father's Day gift. The Museum Shop carries a wide selection of Frank Lloyd Wright inspired silk ties, DVDs and CDs, clocks, bottle stoppers, novelty items, and a unique collection of books on sale from the museum's own library. Or get dad a Currier membership and enjoy free admission and a shop discount.
