Families are invited to explore powerful figures throughout the Museum’s collection during the Cogan Family Foundation Vacation Week Adventures at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), from Tuesday, April 21 through Friday, April 24. Activities include creating a golden Buddha, sketching portraits of European royalty, designing a power figure in leather inspired by African art, and searching for dragons in the Asian galleries.

Students from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts will also be on hand to help kids create their own masterpieces using the ancient Greek techniques of red-figure and black-figure painting.

In addition, families can participate in a special interactive Indian dance performance and art-making demonstration by local group Khel Mel, listen to stories about America’s great leaders, take a fun-filled Family Gallery Tour with Museum Educators and join the MFA’s Teen Arts Council for a talk about powerful figures of the past and present.
