About this guide
Museum visits with children go best when they are short, playful and focused. This 17-page pocketbook helps you plan a visit that ends before anyone gets tired or hungry: about 45 minutes and 3 to 4 artworks, rather than a two-hour march past every wall.
It explains the museum rules in words children understand, gives you questions to ask in front of a painting for ages 2 to 11, and includes three gallery games and printable field-note pages for sketching. Ideas for when you get home keep the visit going afterwards.
