Let's celebrate SPIDERS! 
 
Join us Saturday, March 9th, for an early celebration of "Save a Spider Day"! See spider specimens up close, make observations at live tarantula feedings, and learn about the amazing diversity found within the different spider species. Scientists from our museum will also share about the science they do to learn more about spiders and will help us debunk common spider myths. We also will have special guests from the National Postal Museum joining us to help families create postcards with spider facts for someone special. Families can join at any time during the duration of the event and stay as long as suits each family.

Location: This program is held in Q?rius, The Coralyn W. Whitney Science Education Center, on the Ground Floor of the museum. Please enter through the Constitution Avenue entrance. Q?rius is located on the right as you enter the museum.
