MMKIDS at the Monmouth Museum

In this year’s Museum Holiday Exhibition entitled Winter Wonders, visual depictions of frozen scenery, holiday scenes and winter activities will be displayed along with the ever popular Winter Wonderland Model Train Display for children of all ages! An important part of the museum tradition is a Holiday Tree decorated by the Friends of Monmouth Museum. In addition to the art work and model trains in the Main Gallery, a myriad of talented local artisans is showcased in the Nilson Gallery's Holiday Gift Gallery, with one of-a-kind gifts for your shopping convenience

During the winter holidays and school vacation breaks, the WonderWing and the Becker Children’s Wing at the Monmouth Museum offer special activities. For the Van Gogh or Picasso in your family, special monthly themed crafts are made in the Green Arts Studio where kids of all ages can access their creative side using recyclable materials.
