Many American children are exposed to only negative images of Islam. At this celebration, they can experience the rich cultural heritage of the Muslim world through activities like a virtual tour of mosque architecture (10 a.m.) and a reading of Hena Khan’s book ”Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns” (12:30 p.m.) The museum will also offer two sign-up workshops for ages 5 and older: On Saturday at 3 and 4 p.m., children can experiment with traditional Moroccan rug weaving with the designer Alia Kate, and on Sunday at 2 and 3:30 p.m., they can create costumes with the help of the designer Basil El Halwagy.
