You'll spend a little bit of time at both desks, so there is always variety. It's easy, fun, and we show you how! Current schedule is Monday, 10-12 or 12-2, Tuesday, 10-12 or 12-2, Wednesday, 12-2, or Thursday, 12-2. The schedule is subject to change, so please inquire in advance. See you at the museum!
