Homeschool Workshop: Art Detectives! 5-6

A work of art can hold lots of secrets; secrets that have remained hidden for centuries! Discover what hidden stories are revealed when conservators clean, x-ray and analyze works of art.  Students will uncover the mysteries and secrets of objects from the Walters' collection and get a look at how art and science connect in the Walters' conservation lab.

Explore the Walters through this workshop designed exclusively for homeschool students ages 5-12. Participants enjoy an introduction to the museum, a guided tour, studio activity and post-visit materials.
