This summer the National Museum debuts four wonderful days created especially for families. Generously sponsored by Target, these special Saturdays are filled with fun activities giving families unique ways to learn, play, and grow together.

A World of Percussion: Shake, Rattle & Bang!
Rhythm is universal and so is the joy found in a day filled with a shake, rattle, and a bang. Kids of all ages can make their own instrument and then join us in a very special drum circle. Free Museum admission all day.

Reservations are not needed.

Join us for our other Target Free Family Saturdays

Pilgrimage tells the inspiring story of how a small group of Japanese Americans in the late 1960s uncovered their lost history and created the Manzanar Pilgrimage, which transformed the once-abandoned WWII American concentration camp into a vibrant symbol of retrospection and solidarity for people of all ages, races, and nationalities. Pilgrimage is a timely and engaging film that brings new and much-needed insight to the lessons of the past.

Community Connections at the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy

In collaboration with Media That Matters, the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy, and other Los Angeles nonprofit groups*, Freewaves will screen contemporary works by youth that address political, economic, and social issues.

The program is based around the Sixth Annual Media That Matters Film Festival, a showcase for short films on the most important topics of the day: local, global, online and in communities around the world. The sixth festival covers everything from race, gender, gay rights, poverty in both the developing and developed worlds, to the effects of energy costs on communities, community based economies, Wal-Mart, media advertising, criminal youth and youth in the military.

Freewaves, the National Center and their collaborators invite everyone to see how our youngest generation views the current issues affecting the world. The screening and speak out will be free!
