The Art Museum is a great place for you and your family to explore new works of art, spark creativity through imagination, encourage curiosity and promote critical thinking skills.
HELPFUL TIPS
Make the most of your time at the Museum with these simple ideas to enhance your family’s experience while touring through the galleries:
LOOK CLOSELY at the artwork—without touching. Discover the lines, shapes, and colors the artists have used.
ASK EACH OTHER QUESTIONS! What do you see? What is your favorite part? Does the artwork remind you of anything?
SCAVENGER HUNT – Ask about our Scavenger Hunt at the front desk! This fun and interactive activity is perfect for all ages and helps visitors notice things they may otherwise overlook.
VISIT THE TEA PORCH – Be sure to see what family-friendly activities are available for you to enjoy on the Carolyn Burroughs Tea Porch. It’s a great place to take a break and continue your exploration through puzzles, books, and games.
