Children's Programs

Breed of the Month

Each month, the Museum will feature a different breed for visitors to learn about and be inspired by! Fun facts and a drop-in craft are available every day in the library and can be featured on the MoD Community Wall and Instagram (@mod_communitywall). A “Meet the Breed” event will happen once per month where visitors will be able to meet a real dog of the featured breed. Visitors have the opportunity to ask questions to a breeder and see the dog up close themselves!

In the Author’s Corner

Enjoy featured author talks in the Library. With book series and authors varying to cover a wide spectrum of audiences, you will not want to miss it! These events are free with Museum admission and run for about one hour on weekends.

Join us for a movie featuring your favorite lovable creatures! Learn about the featured breed in the film, view some artworks from the collection featuring the breed, and then watch a movie with your friends and family.
