While the museum’s galleries are closed for installation, join free drop-in design activities in the Garden.
Find Your Angle
See the world through a whole new lens. Grab your camera or one of our analog viewfinders and go on a garden photo adventure. Hunt for wild textures, funky angles, perfect symmetry, or tiny details. Then take your favorite shot and turn it into a bold, expressive drawing.
Drop-In Sketching in the Garden
Experience Cooper Hewitt’s Arthur Ross Terrace and Garden through drawing! Participants will explore the Gilded Age architecture of the Carnegie Mansion and garden. Draw on your own or get inspired by prompts, from considering patterns, focusing on botanical studies, diving deep into architectural fragments to reimagining the mansion at a different time.
