The University of Alaska Museum of the North will focus on baskets during September.
A parent and two young children examine traditional woven baskets during an Early Explorers family program at the Museum of the North in 2011.
Families with children ages 5 and under can drop in at Early Explorers from 10 a.m. to noon on Friday, Sept. 11. Create and discover with hands-on activities in the Creativity Lab, and explore the galleries.
Family Day: Baskets is set for Saturday, Sept. 26, from noon to 4 p.m. Visitors can see a wide variety of examples from the museum collections, explore materials, create basket-inspired art and search the galleries on a scavenger hunt. There is no admission fee for children ages 14 and under at Family Days, thanks to support from TOTE.
These programs are included with admission and are free for members.
