April Architecture!
April 18, 2024
11:00 AM–3:00 PM
April Vacation week is just around the corner! Join us on Thursday, April 18th from 11am-3pm for some special hands-on activities with an architectural twist. Explore the unique architecture of the Chestnut Hill Pumping Station, which today houses the Waterworks Museum, then put your skills and creativity to the test by helping us to build a cardboard city out of recycled boxes, making a “robot hand” from paper cups, and discovering what kind of structures you can make from Kapla blocks. All activities are free of charge, with a $5 suggested donation. Help us monitor capacity by reserving your free tickets today. We hope to see you there!

This exhibition spotlights six places that innovated ways to deliver, and control water for human use. It also looks at how climate change is impacting all of those places, forcing public officials to consider new ways to keep the water flowing.
