Countdown from Home

Ringing in 2021 with Please Touch Museum

Since we could not be together in person at the Museum on New Year’s Eve, we created fun ways to celebrate ringing in 2021 with us from home!

To prepare for the celebration, we shared fun party food recipes thanks to Bassetts Ice Cream and Vetri Community Kitchen. Plus, our Museum Learning team created make-at-home instrument instructions so children could play along with the band. Watch the video and scroll down for more great family activities to do at home.

We are grateful for the sponsors who made the Countdown from Home celebration possible:
