Ever wonder if bats are really blind or why black cats always have spooky glowing eyes in cartoons? Interested in whether pirates really wore eyepatches or not, and why? This tour is perfect for families with children 8 and up, and anyone young at heart.

A museum staff member will lead a 30-minute tour around the museum exhibits, followed by a 30-minute guided craft project where we will learn to make Ojo de Dios, a traditional Latin American yarn craft. Ojos de Dios (God’s Eyes) are also featured in the new special exhibition, Decoding the Eye: Signs & Symbols.
