Hands on History

The Santa Monica History Museum is excited to invite children and their families to a free Hands on History workshop on Saturday, February 11th from 11:00am to 12:00pm. The theme of February’s workshop will be Valentine’s Day. Each workshop is designed to be engaging and educational for elementary age (5-11 years) children. RSVP is requested, registration is available at the door. Every workshop is offered free of charge.
Join as we celebrate this holiday centered on love and affection and to trace the history of sending sentiment from its hand-made origins through its lacy traditions to its place as a modern-day commercial powerhouse. After a lesson in the galleries, participants will move to the museum lobby where they will create a fun, festive Valentine’s Day craft to take home.
