The Children’s Museum of Manhattan hosts several programs this weekend dealing with the history and geography of the city. On Jan. 9 & 10, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. & 2-4:30 p.m., “Lady Liberty Installation” enables participants to contribute to an evolving sculpture of green recycled materials re-constructing the Statue of Liberty, which welcomed generations of immigrants into Ellis Island from around the globe. This exhibition is suitable for all ages. On Jan. 10, 2-4 p.m. “Mapping New York with Becky Cooper” allows participants, six and older, to create their own vision of New York City with the creator and author of “Mapping Manhattan: A Love (And Sometimes Hate) Story In Maps By 75 New Yorkers.” Using maps and markers, everyone can capture their experiences of the city and share what makes New York special to them.
