Educators from both museums – the National Museum of Natural History and the National Gallery of Art – will encourage artful connections with the flora and fauna around you.

Check out specimens from the National Museum of Natural History’s education collection, enjoy a storytime in the garden, and color your own nature scene inspired by the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden.
