MFAH Family Days—held on select Sundays throughout the year—bring opportunities to explore and make art, see a performance, hear a story, and much more!
Today, be dazzled by Gifts of Beauty! The exhibition Gifts of the Sultan: The Arts of Giving at the Islamic Courts lets families have fun experiencing beautiful works of art from the Islamic world, including rich textiles, manuscripts, and paintings.
Witness calligraphers practicing their incredible art form. Sketch a work of art or listen to a story in the exhibition galleries. In the studio, create and embellish a unique work of art designed to hold a gift of your choosing. Listen to an exquisite in-gallery performance by the Ismaili Music Ensemble that draws on Eastern and Western influences. Play a game of chess, inspired by chess pieces from Egypt on view.
