Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA) presents Vive le Roi! (Long Live the King!) Family Days, three days of special programming for families from Thursday, April 21 through Saturday, April 23. Families are invited to experience the exhibition The Book of Kings: Art, War, and the Morgan Library’s Medieval Picture Bible with a special Vive le Roi!  activity guide. Children can admire themselves in Medieval garb, learn to write letters in 13th-century script, and create craft projects from Blazing Banners to woven Penny Pouches.  There will be a book corner and a Medieval Time Travel story table. On Friday, come and watch a craftsman make real chain mail! Thursday and Friday hours are 10 am–12 noon and 1 pm–3 pm.

Saturday’s family hours are extended, from 10 am-3 pm, to accommodate additional exciting activities—work on your juggling skills with a medieval juggling troupe, interact with the Roving Beasts (masked performers wandering through the museum), and learn the trade of a village scribe. Sample delicious medieval treats. Admission to the museum and all Family Days  activities is free. All activities take place at the museum and are designed for children between the ages of 4 and 12 who are accompanied by an adult.
