The Metal Museum is pleased to announce Repair Days 2018, an annual fundraiser hosted by the Metal Museum, where nearly 200 metalsmiths from across the country come to Memphis to make repairs on metal objects brought in by visitors like you.

Join us for Family Fun Day on 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. October 20 for free museum admission and watch as volunteers repair different items. Visitors can work on a short art project, play family-friendly games, and watch over 1,500 pounds of molten iron take shape as it is poured into molds. The Family Fun Tent allows aspiring artists of all ages to develop their metalworking skills.

From 5 to 6 p.m., the museum's 2018 master metalsmith, Lisa Gralnick. will give a gallery talk on her exhibition (on display through January 13, 2019).
