Sculpture Exploration Backpacks

The Hofstra University Museum's two distinct Sculpture Exploration Backpacks offer activity-filled ways for adults and children to explore together our outdoor sculpture collection on the University's beautiful campus. One backpack focuses on sculptures of animals and one focuses on sculpture based on shapes. Stop in at the Hofstra University Museum's Emily Lowe Gallery, located on South Campus behind Emily Lowe Hall, and pick up a backpack. At the end of your tour, return the backpack and each child will receive a small gift from the Museum. It's free. It's fun. And it's for everyone ages 4-9 and their grown-up companions all year-round.
