Capital Jewish Museum is not open yet, we are about to start building the museum and today we’re going to do the same thing together, only this museum is going to be all about you! Museums are places that tell stories. Sometimes there are objects inside and sometimes they are outside. When there are a lot of objects that tell the same story they are part of a collection! Let’s make a museum all about you and use objects to make a collection that tells your story.

We’re going to make display cases for the collections that we put together last week. You can also choose different objects for your display cases. It’s your museum so you can choose what you want to display! Think about the story you want to tell and choose some of your most loved items to tell others something about you.

Today we’re going to continue building our museum and it’s time to add some art! It can be art of yourself, family, friends, or just art that you like to make. Let’s make some art together. Art is another way that we can tell stories about ourselves. Art is a way to share your wishes, be creative, and even celebrate special moments. Today we’ll make some self-portraits and prepare to hang them up in our museum. What other art will you create to tell your story?
