SUNDAY FAMILY ZONE + STUDIO “STATUS AND DRESS: PORTRAITS OF THE POWERFUL”

Sunday, Jun. 28, 2015

01:00 PM – 04:00 PM
US/Central

This summer, families are invited to discover the spectacular treasures in Habsburg Splendor: Masterpieces from Vienna’s Imperial Collections. During June, guests can explore the art of fashion around the world, and see how the most powerful people use clothing and costumes to enforce their status.

Visitors can go on an adventure in the galleries; listen to special storybooks; sharpen their looking skills with sketching; and create their own works of art!
