Storytime at the Museum: Nature in Winter

Florence Arts & Museums is happy to announce another one of our Storytime at the Museum class series. Our Museum Educator is inviting families of ALL ages, with children’s literature focusing specifically on ages 3 and up to listen to a winter story in celebration of the upcoming season on Friday, December 5th from 10-11am at the Kennedy-Douglass Center for the Arts. The story read aloud will be, The Lights that Dance in the Night by Yuval Zommer, a beautifully written story of what animals do when they see the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis.

After listening to the story, families will have the opportunity to learn a little more about the science and the cultural history of the Northern Lights and create their own paper and chalk artwork to take home or display at the Kennedy-Douglass Art Center windows to share with the community.

This program is sponsored by the City of Florence Department of Arts & Museums. This event will be free to the public. The Kennedy-Douglass Art Center is open to the public for self-guided tours and other scheduled programming on Monday-Friday from 9-4pm, and on Sunday from 1-4pm. The Kennedy-Douglass Art Center is located at 217 E. Tuscaloosa Street, Florence, AL 35630. For more information, call FAM’s central office at (256) 760-6379.
