Sunday, November 7th

NH Open Doors (Throughout New Hampshire - Saturday 11/6 + Sunday 11/7)

NH Open Doors is a FREE statewide touring and shopping event for all ages. Visit and shop at the open studios of New Hampshire craftspeople and artisans, local farms, orchards, wineries, and retail shops and galleries filled with NH-made products. When the day is done, find rest and relaxation at a local hotel or inn.

Come see Kamishibai – a traditional Japanese street theater for children – performed live at the Museum! Kamishibai is a traditional Japanese theater that fed the beginnings of manga and anime. In pre-WWII Japan children flocked to see Kamishibai like they do to today’s cartoons. See and hear traditional stories performed just like they were in 1930s era Tokyo while you eat Pocky candies. Children and families are encouraged to attend!______________________________________________________________________________________

Get out and experience free culture, interesting people, and diverse communities all around New Hampshire this weekend!

Culture is roughly anything we do and the monkeys don’t.  (Lord Raglan)
