Kids may not instantly connect with the Asian art that is the focus of the Sackler and Freer Galleries of Art . The famed artist created it in a London dining room, with a lavish peacock motif.
Children seem to be overwhelmed by the impracticality of it all.
You can reach the underground Sackler Gallery from the Freer. It, too, displays Asian art, with a broader selection. It's also where you'll find ImaginAsia. Children ages 6 to 12, accompanied by an adult, can participate. A typical program might send kids off with a clipboard, pencil and well-written activity guide into the Sackler or Freer to find and learn from specific works.
