Festival of Flowers
This year the Education Department of the Mobile Museum of Art participated in the Festival of Flowers’ enticing theme, The Great Get-Away, by hosting three wonderful art get-aways for children at our Festival venue. Children experienced the exciting countries of South America and made charming Molas to take home. They also had the opportunity to “visit” the homeland of one of the world’s greatest sculptors, Rodin, who lived and worked in France. Their sculptural creations elicited exclamations of “Bon, Bon”, and “Tres magnifique”! But of course, no visit to the museum’s venue would be complete without creating a signature garden bonnet to wear while visiting the Festival gardens and other venues! Many thanks to all the volunteers, Museum Docents, school groups and art teachers who assisted the museum staff with staging this year’s children’s area.
