This Family Day celebrates the opening of the exhibition American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition. While an exhibit on prohibition might not seem right for kids at first glance, today we feature fun, family-friendly activities. Learn 20’s-era dance steps, dress up in our DIY photo booth, sample soda, and enjoy jazz performances throughout the day.

American Spirits invites visitors to step back in time to an era of flappers and suffragists, bootleggers and temperance lobbyists, and real-life legends like Al Capone and Carry Nation. Created by the National Constitution Center and making its west coast premiere at MOHAI, American Spirits brings the whole story of Prohibition vividly to life through a re-created speakeasy, films, photos, multimedia, and more than 100 rare artifacts.
