All events are free, so take a look -- and don't you dare say there's nothing to do in Pasadena!
The Green Rabbit Holiday Open House Saturday, Dec. 17, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Pasadena Museum of History is inspired by the beloved Sign of the Green Rabbit created by Ernest Batchelder. The event will include festive holiday music by Ad Hoc Consort, a craft workshop, admission to the current exhibitions "Batchelder: Tilemaker" and "Cast & Fired: Pasadena's Mid-Century Ceramics Industry" plus a peek into the Fenyes Mansion adorned with touches of Edwardian-era holiday decor.
Artist Lia Halloran and writer Maria Popova will discuss Art Inspired by Astronomy Sunday, Dec. 18, at 2 p.m. in the Hameetman Auditorium at Caltech's Cahill Center for Astronomy and Astophysics.
