Storytime at the Museum

Storytime at the Museum brings picture books and imagination to life in one of Pittsburgh's most beloved natural history institutions. A librarian or museum educator reads aloud to children, often with props, puppets, or interactive elements that keep young listeners engaged. Families sit together in a welcoming space surrounded by dinosaur skeletons, mineral displays, or other museum wonders—making it easy to explore exhibits before or after. It's a cozy, screen-free way for preschoolers and early elementary kids to enjoy stories while building a love of reading and museums.
