Hub City’s littlest museum hosts ‘EGGstraordinary’ Pocket Pop-Up

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - You better get crackin’ to the Hattiesburg Pocket Museum’s Pocket Pop-Up this Saturday.

Museum curators said the event is only one hour long, from 1 to 2 p.m., but they will pack a ton of fun in that short amount of time.

Some planned activities include cracking open a “fresh from the Hattiesburg Zoo” ostrich egg, decorating faux eggs and eating lots of Easter candy. Of course, there will also be the usual alley games like giant Legos and alley scooters.

Curators will also debut new alley “rocks” for kids to jump on and explore the chalk stream.

The event will occur in conjunction with Downtown Hattiesburg Association’s First Saturday events.

“Come celebrate “First Saturday " Downtown and view our new EGGstraordinary exhibit and see if you can find all the new tiny people in the alley!” reads a post on the museum’s Facebook page.
