This Sunday, the Legion of Honor museum is throwing an Easter celebration, in theme with its current exhibition “The Cult of Beauty: The Victorian Avant-Garde 1860–1900”.
The event kicks off at 12noon with a free, Victorian Easter Egg hunt for kids on the front lawn of the museum. A Mad Hatter – outfitted by the A.C.T. Costume Shop – will be on hand to emcee the hunt. Bring your baskets!
Other events on Sunday include Victorian hat decorating, a screening of the animated Alice in Wonderland film, and more:
12-3:00 p.m.
Adorn your Easter hats in the Mad Hatter fashion. Petrushka of Petrushka Couture Accessories will assist museum visitors with transforming their bonnets and top hats into a colorful and crazy headdress! Don’t worry, you can put your bonnets and top hats back to “normal” after you are done impressing the Mad Hatter.
12–3:00 p.m.
Join our museum artists in Gallery 8 and create an origami Easter basket for your hunts beyond the museum.
12:00-3:00 p.m.
Paper cut-out demonstration will be given by Sara Burgess in Gallery 10. Her intricate details reflect the beautiful aesthetics of the Victorian Era.
