What’s A Hobby? is a series of family workshops that use the Lightner Museum’s collection and building to explore hobbies and collecting. Founded in 1948 as the Lightner Museum of Hobbies, the museum has its origins in the hobby boom that swept America in the early twentieth century.

Our next What's a Hobby will take place on Saturday, April 18 at 10:00 a.m.
