    Face it, every family has their awkward moments, there is no way around it. Awkward Family Photos: The Exhibition, aims to explore the imperfectly perfect moments that come with being a family, while taking comfort in the fact that your family is not alone. Awkward Family Photos features over 200 authentic photographs, each framed in vintage, era appropriate frames, capturing the essence of awkward family moments. Visitors will not only enjoy the visual display but also delve into the hilarious “behind the awkwardness” stories shared by the actual families involved. Created by the minds behind AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com, this exhibition has been on the road since 2012, capturing audiences with its humor and relatability. Whether you’re looking for a delightful family outing or seeking a good laugh, Awkward Family Photos is an exhibition you won’t want to miss. Open March 21 – June 2, 2024 Opening day is March 21st.
