We love Curious George here on the Culture Mom Blog. We gave away tickets to the current exhibit going on at the Jewish Museum several months ago.

The Jewish Museum is presenting family activities during July and August in conjunction with its exhibition, Curious George Saves the Day: The Art of Margret and H. A. Rey. Highlights include Milkshake in concert on Sunday, July 11. There will also be free Art Adventure Mondays gallery tours and activities from July 12 to August 16; free drop-in art workshops Sundays through August 1 and Tuesdays, July 6 to 13; and self-guided family tours every day.

For further information regarding family programs at The Jewish Museum, the public may call 212.423.3337. Tickets for programs at The Jewish Museum can now be purchased online at the Museum’s web site, www.thejewishmuseum.org.
