Neill-Cochran House Museum Hosts Valentine's Day Fun

AUSTIN, TX—This Valentine's Day, enjoy a family-friendly event designed for all ages featuring hands-on activities, scavenger hunts, self-paced tours, and space to picnic in the shade. Popping Pop-Up Valentine's at the Neill-Cochran House Museum invites you to a relaxed afternoon of learning and creating pop-up Valentine's cards.

Scheduled Sunday, Feb. 14 from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m., you'll learn about the history of the pop-up book, and its use to engage imagination long before the advent of the current technology we enjoy today. You'll design your own pop-ups, gain hands-on experience for the unique art form, and create something special for your Valentine!

There will be examples for the different ways of creating a pop-up image, as well as all materials and decorating supplies needed for your creation. Staff and volunteers will be on hand to help with the design and creation of your pop-up cards, and there will be pre-made pop-ups available for younger children to decorate on their own.

The drop-in event is part of The Neill-Cochran House Museum Sunday Funday series and is free with the price of museum admission. The event will be held outdoors with physical distancing measures in place, and masks are required to protect the health and safety of visitors, staff, and the community.
