Valentine’s Day
Love is in the air—and all around the Museum! Valentine’s Day at DCM is a celebration of kindness, connection, and creativity. Today is a special chance to show appreciation for the people who make your world brighter, through thoughtful gestures big and small. Come play, create, and share the love together!

What it’s all about: Valentine’s Day is more than hearts and cards—it’s about caring, empathy, and connection. How can you show kindness today? Create something meaningful for someone you love, share a thoughtful message, or work together to spread joy. Through art, play, and shared experiences, we learn that love and kindness are powerful things to share.
