The experience begins with Story Time at 10 a.m. in the gallery, featuring Discovering the Maasai People: A Child’s Journey to the Savanna by Ethan Braxton. At 10:30 a.m., dive into a hands-on art project inspired by the vibrant beaded Maasai necklaces from the museum’s collection—learning about their craftsmanship and cultural significance along the way.
