Family Programs at the Rubin Museum of Art

It’s time to explore the Himalayas. That region is the specialty of the Rubin Museum of Art, and children can investigate it in two programs this weekend. On Saturday, from 2 to 4 p.m., Family Art Lab will present “The Art of Nepali Paper Making,” a workshop for ages 5 and older that will use the exhibition “Francesco Clemente: Inspired by India” as a springboard. After examining Mr. Clemente’s works on handmade paper, each young participant will tear up and mix recycled paper, fibers, flowers and herbs to create a sheet of paper to take home. On Sunday, from 1 to 4 p.m., the museum will host its continuing Family Sundays program, a new series consisting of gallery exploration (there’s a guided tour at 2 p.m.) and art making. October’s theme is “Celebrate Diwali!,” the Hindu Festival of Lights, which will include searching for light-themed objects.
