CHF joins over 40 Old City museums, galleries, and shops in opening its doors for First Friday. In addition to extending our hours until 8:00 p.m., each month's event will feature fascinating special guest speakers and interactive activities.

This Month's First Friday "Manual Science" event features local photographer and UArts TA Laurie Beck Peterson teaching attendees how to make science beautiful through the process of botanical sunprinting. Participants will learn how to create their own botanical sunprints using only photographic paper, water and botanicals. Supplies will be provided.

As always, you'll have the chance to explore our permanent exhibition, Making Modernity, and sLowlife, a dynamic multimedia exhibition that presents plants as complex, living beings.
