Florence and Tuscany with Kids

Family Events

Me, Myself, and... My Family! - an exploration of Bronzino's Renaissance portraits looking closely at the ways in which costume, poses and props are used to tell us about the person painted. Back in the studio, experiment with materials to create a ready-to-wear collage all about you, then get together with your family to pose for a portrait that will go down in history!
For ages 3-6 Saturday mornings 10:30-12:00 with accompanying adult
For ages 7-12 Saturday mornings 10:30-12:30 with accompanying adult
