Children are some of the best art critics we know. They notice colours adults skip and ask the questions everyone else is too polite to ask. Here is how to make a visit work for the whole family.
- Keep it short: forty-five minutes beats three hours.
- Pick up a free family trail at the front desk.
- Let them choose the painting you sit in front of.
- Bring a pencil — sketching slows everyone down in the best way.
Ask “what do you see?” instead of “what is it?” and watch the conversation open up.
