Celebrate International Museum Day with us on Monday, May 18th! SVM is open from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, and we offer fun activities for audiences of all ages, which are included with general museum admission.

Our fabulous Collections Staff will provide demonstrations on how we care for the items in our collection and why they are important from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. Learn how to care for a historic basket, learn why we track bugs found in the museum, and see archival photos of the S'edav Va'aki Museum's archaeological site.

We will also offer crafts for the kids from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, including making your own pinch pot, etching your own petroglyph, and coloring pages to take home.

Don't forget, you can join Quinn the Quail on our Agents of Discovery mission! Download the app now!
