Family Fun Fest - Layer the Walls: Midcentury

Family Fun Fest - Layer the Walls: Midcentury

What if you discovered an old apartment covered with forty layers of wallpaper? What if each layer revealed the stories of past tenants? Explore the living history of a tenement apartment in New York City that was once home to hundreds of new immigrants and migrants. Shadow and rod puppetry, along with half masks, bring to life the stories of Jewish, Chinese, and Puerto Rican families between the years of 1930-1970—stories that have shaped the America we know today.

• Free children’s activities begin in the lobby at 12 p.m.
