We have
two new museum passes to offer and this week we are going to highlight one of
them! Get ready to explore. Information about the museums is reported of
their respective websites.
ISABELLA STEWART GARDNER MUSEUM: There
is always something new at the Gardner. The performance hall is filled with
sounds of traditional and new music, the exhibition space features both
historical and contemporary work, and the courtyard plantings reflect the
seasons as they evolve throughout the year. While the permanent collection
remains constant, we ourselves change and with that, we make new personal
connections to works of art, galleries, the courtyard, and each other.
Each pass
admits up to four people with $5 admission per person, redeemable at the
admissions desk. Children under the age of 18 are always free.
SNAP CIRCUITS 101: Snap
Circuits gives your child a hands-on education in how electrical circuits work
to run the everyday devices that they're familiar with. They'll also gain
valuable lessons in building and in following instructions. With these
projects, children will experiment with things like electric switches,
integrated circuits, digital circuits, fuses, and the transformation of circuit
sounds into other sounds.
Because
the projects are arranged in order of complexity, kids can build on their
skills as they progress through the manual. The lessons start out with a simple
electric light and switch project that demonstrates how electricity is turned
on and off with a switch. Further along, kids can put together a two-speed fan,
create clap-controlled sounds, and more.
The lab
will give opportunity to build in step by step fashion with the help of the
facilitator. This is not a 'free play' activity. We proceed by the book. Register youth in grades 2-5 only, please. This activity is being held on Tuesdays at
6:30pm the entire month of November.
AUTHOR MARINA DUTZMANN KIRSCH PRESENTS: Flight
of Remembrance: A World War II Memoir of Love and Survival. Join us on Thursday,
November 3rd @ 6:30 to hear Marina Dutzmann Kirsch as she discusses
her book which highlights the true narrative of her family’s experiences
against the backdrop of World War II tragedy and devastation in Latvia, Poland,
and Germany.
The book follows the author’s father and the main protagonist, a young, Latvian aeronautical
engineering student of Baltic German descent, who was forced under the threat
of execution to flee his homeland in 1939 before the first Soviet takeover, the
only nation that would accept him was Nazi Germany. In 1940 Berlin, he meets a
young German woman, Lilo, and a love story begins that will endure more than 70
years and across two continents. Rolf’s worst fear comes to pass when he is
drafted into the Luftwaffe in 1941. Despite the immeasurable evil, suffering
and desolation of World War II, a synchronistic chain of events enables Rolf
and Lilo to see their most cherished dreams materialize out of postwar
catastrophe and ruin.
Marina
Dutzmann Kirsch was born into the postwar Old World in Zurich, Switzerland.
More than fifty years later, her 'journey of remembrance” to research and
record the experiences of her family before, during and after the tumultuous
years of World War II included unearthing facts about her grandfather’s role as
chief inspector of V-2 rockets at the top secret installations of Peenemünde
and Mittelwerk. This event requires
REGISTRATION. All are welcome. Signed books will be available
for purchase.
