Who says Queens isn’t a great Spring Break destination? The Museum of the Moving Image will screen daily matinees of a remastered, 3-D version of The Wizard of Oz from April 3rd through April 12th, when the New York City schools are on spring recess. Considered a childhood rite of passage, this classic 1939 tale about Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and the Scarecrow was nominated for six Academy Awards, including one for best picture, and won Oscars for original score and song. The museum will enhance the experience by offering a daily character design remix workshop during this period. (More information and another photo are on the jump page.)

Recommended for children (ages 5-10), the workshops will involve crafting, remixing, and redesigning Wizard of Oz characters with a variety of standard art supplies. The roughly 45-minute classes will begin right after the screenings, when the youngsters are most inspired.

Details: The Wizard of Oz in 3-D, Museum of the Moving Image, 36-01 35th Avenue, Kaufman Arts District, April 3rd through April 12th, 12:30 pm, $12. The workshops start at 2:30 pm those days on a first-come, first-served basis, $5.
