Lunch and Learn Lecture Series
The Museum regularly hosts speaker forums that feature experts on important issues affecting children and families. Past Lunch & Learn forums have addressed topics such as bullying, obesity, how children learn, mindfulness, and the moral development of children. Forums are held at the Museum and are open to the public. A small fee covers the cost of lunch.
