More than 100 UNMC, UMA and The Nebraska Medical Center employees, students and their families recently visited the Joslyn Art Museum on a near-perfect autumn day.

The Oct. 30 Passport Partners Family Day allowed children to design animal masks and paint Halloween treat bags, while their parents explored the John James Audubon’s animal exhibit and the Picasso exhibit.

The family day was part of the Passport Partners program, in which all UNMC, The Nebraska Medical Center and UMA employees, students and their families are admitted free to the museum and ticketed exhibitions by showing their employee ID badge at Joslyn’s entrance desk. A free admission includes two adults and accompanying children during general admission hours, which are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m.
