Brooklyn Children’s Museum will go full blue on Sunday, July 13, with SMURFS Summer, a daylong celebration of art-making, music and hands-on activities ahead of the July 18 release of Smurfs, featuring Rihanna as Smurfette.
Presented with Paramount Pictures, the event runs from 11:00am to 5:00pm and transforms the museum into a Smurf village for a day of creativity and play. Families can join a rooftop dance and sing-along to the Smurfs soundtrack, create cyanotype prints in ColorLab and visit a transformation station for themed tattoos and props.
STEM fans can experiment with making blue dyes using natural materials in the Nature’s Engineers makerspace. Kids can also embark on a museum-wide scavenger hunt to rescue Papa Smurf and earn a prize. There will be photo ops with Smurfette, No Name and Papa Smurf, along with giveaways like temporary tattoos and activity sheets.
SMURFS Summer celebrates the franchise’s spirit of teamwork, creativity and adventure.
“For parents and caregivers raised on the television cartoon in decades past, this is a great chance to introduce your little ones to those beloved characters and spend some quality, blue bonding time getting silly, creative, and adventurous at BCM,” said Brooklyn Children’s Museum President & CEO Atiba T. Edwards.
Admission is included with a general ticket to the museum: $15 for children and adults, $14 for grandparents and free for children under one.
To participate in the meet and greet photo opportunity with Smurf characters, families must reserve a free time slot here.
