7 Ways to Make An Art Museum Visit Fun for Kids
Do your kids race through museums with barely a glimpse at the art?
Do they spend more time in the gift shop than the galleries?
Give them a reason to stop and look, a mystery to solve, a connection to make with a masterpiece and they may start to appreciate art.
In this article I’ll show you 7 fun ways to get your kids to slow down and take a look at what’s in the art museum.
They may not become art aficionados in one visit, but they might just find something that captures their interests or inspires their imaginations.

I’ll show you how.
