Instant Exhibit Family Day - BYOU

Saturday, September 11
1 - 4 p.m. , Mascoutah Public Library

Bring your own "ubject," an invented word to describe unique and meaningful objects. Participants will learn how museums work as they document, record, label, and display their ubject in an ephemeral exhibit. Informal discussions about how we come to value objects will help participants see the significance these objects have in our lives. Participants will take home their ubjects and a photograph of their ubject on display. This is in conjunction with the Ubjects III exhibit, which is open August 12 - September 24.

Open to the public at no charge.
