Family Sunday

Home Is Where the Heart Is
Join the National Museum for a Family Sunday exploring the meaning of "home". Is it your family? Is it a place—your house or apartment? Is it the country in which you were born or the country where you live? Or is it something you carry inside of you, no matter where you are?

Reading and Book Signing with Allen Say
Our very special guest will be Allen Say, who has himself moved 37 times! He will be signing his newest book, Home of the Brave, which was inspired by National Museum exhibitions on the World War II Japanese American camp experience. In this mythical journey through a haunting and familiar landscape, a man meets two children who are lost. He embarks on a mysterious personal journey as he tries to help them find their way home. A brief Q&A session will follow the reading. Allen Say's promotional book tour will take him to New York, Washington, D.C. and San Jose in April. For details, please see National Programs.

Hands-on Art Workshop: Constructing "Home" through Art
In this workshop, participants will have a chance to create a unique art project that symbolizes the meaning of their home. Participants are encouraged to bring small objects, or photocopies of family photographs, letters and/or postcards to incorporate into their projects.
