“Do the Mu!”—Celebrating Victorian Style

“Do the Mu!”—Celebrating Victorian Style

On Saturday, March 7, the Massillon Museum will celebrate Victorian style for its third monthly “Do the Mu” program. Families and individuals are invited to join staff members between noon and 2:00 p.m. for a tour of the second-floor Victorian parlor exhibit and the lower level lobby display on The Gilded Age. Participants will be treated to tea and sweets, and then, using the Victorian "language of flowers," they will be encouraged to make a tussie mussie or butionaire.

The March “Do the Mu” is based on the Massillon Museum’s second annual National Endowment for the Arts grant project, “The Big Read: Western Stark County Reads The Age of Innocence.”

The popular new “Do the Mu” program, instituted by the Massillon Museum’s educator, Jill Malusky Bacon, is free and open to all. Participants may drop in any time between noon and 2:00 p.m. on the first Saturday of every month, for a special talk and an arts activity. No pre-registration is required. "Do the Mu" is one of many free activities for families at the Massillon Museum.

The Massillon Museum is located at 121 Lincoln Way East (Ohio Route 172) in downtown Massillon. A visit to the Massillon Museum is always free. For more information, call the Museum at 330-833-4061 or visit www.massillonmuseum.org.
