Discovery Day: Map Makers

Join GRAM for a day of discovery, filled with special activities for guests of all ages! This Discovery Day will celebrate the art and creativity of map making, themed around two of GRAM’s exhibitions: Uncharted Ways Through: Maps, Land, and the Image and Border Cantos | Sonic Border.

Activities are available from 10am-3pm and are designed for children and adults of all ages: 

• Treasure Hunt in the Galleries
• Picturesque Reflections Art Project
• Gallery Chats with Docents
• Collaborative Map Art Project
• Discovery Gallery Exploration 
• LEGO® Design Activity led by Bricks & Minifigs Grand Rapids: Build a LEGO® Treasure Map
  Arr, Matey! Join us for a pirate’s adventure as we build our own treasure maps out of LEGO® bricks. Imagine your perfect treasure location and create a map that shows off where you’d bury the pirate’s gold! Throughout the building process, we will explore topography and map symbols. Each participant can build a 16 x 16 treasure map.

All activities are free with museum admission. Registration is not required.
