GARUDA OPEN STUDIO FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES

Explore the Himalayas at your own pace . . . 

Learners of any age are welcome to stop in and use their imagination at the RMA's Garuda Open Studio.  Play Asian games (like with the abacus), make art inspired by a gallery visit (such as your own mandala), dress up in colorful Himalayan costumes and scarves, and read in the Story Corner stocked with more than 100 Asian tales, including Jataka Tales (Buddhist parables), and I Once Was a Monkey. 

Garuda Open Studio is for children of all ages and their caretakers.
