Families will travel back in time to the days of knights in armor and ladies in waiting at this special event on Saturday, May 13. A mix of performances, demonstrations, and hands-on art activities will introduce children and adults to the life and times of Medieval and Renaissance knights.

Planned in conjunction with the Age of Armor exhibition, families will learn more about armor and how it protected knights in battle. Children will have an opportunity to create a coat of arms for their own shield and a banner to carry with them into a tournament.

Adults and children will enjoy learning more about life in the castle and the fashions of the time. They will build their own miniature castle out of clay. Families will enjoy the entertainment that delighted knights and their ladies. With the help of dance instructor Lisa Rie, they will learn Medieval and Renaissance dances.

These are just some of the activities that will appeal to all members of the family. Those who add to the afternoon’s atmosphere by wearing a Medieval or Renaissance costume will receive a 10% discount on a single item in the Museum Store that day.
