You're free to roam almost all the galleries, but remember that special exhibits still carry an extra price tag. Every Sunday, the Museum lays on a host of family activities, many of them free. In the galleries, strategically placed local artists hand out pads, pencils and advice to anyone who wants to hone their drawing and observation skills in the shadow of the masterpieces. Museum teachers also lead themed tours in the galleries for children and parents. For three dollars, your kids can learn to model clay, make puppets and try out Japanese calligraphy in the Museum's art studio.
Parents get to sit in for free.
Judy West Related Links Philadelphia Museum of Art One of Philadelphia's Best Nominated for Best Culture Fix for giving us something else to do on Sunday mornings besides brunch. And it's free. For many years, the Art Museum served wretched food, fit for only the most dazed and confused art lover. Now, thanks to executive chef Tracey Hopkins, the fixin's are fine art. The fabulous 1920s Deco structure will give the Museum another 100,000 square feet to play with.
