Repair Days is the Metal Museum's largest annual fundraiser. Bring your metal items to the Museum this October to have them restored to their former glory. All proceeds from repairs help support annual programming such as virtual exhibition tours, educational activity guides, demonstration videos, apprenticeships, and more.

REPAIRS

During this annual event, our volunteer repair specialists restore metal items to their former glory – everything from rusted garden furniture to broken jewelry to warped heirloom silver – all to raise funds for Museum programs. At Repair Days we’ve seen it all and repaired it all, and we look forward to tackling this year's projects to help give new life to metal objects.

FINE ART

Each year the Museum receives handcrafted and one-of-a-kind metal works as donations to the Repair Days Art Auction. Adorn yourself and decorate your home by bidding in the annual Auction, knowing that you have contributed vital funds to support the Metal Museum's programs and initiatives in the coming year. This year's Repair Days Art Auction, which also includes a Silent Auction, will be held Saturday, Oct. 22.

FAMILY FUN

There’s nothing like watching blacksmiths move steel as easily as clay or watching a foundry crew melt down and pour more than a ton of iron. In the Repair Days Family Fun Tent, aspiring metalsmiths of all ages and skill levels can try their hand at various processes. Everyone is invited to this free Family Fun Day from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22.

COMMUNITY

The Metal Museum serves as a gathering place for the metalsmithing community – with Repair Days serving as a family reunion of sorts. Artists and volunteers alike can reconnect with old friends and make new ones through a variety of programming throughout the week.
