A field trip to the museum takes some planning and a several dollars to pay the museum fee. Another way to teach your kids about art without taking them to the museum, is to check out museum educational tools. You can log on and see some of the educational materials on the web or borrow them for home personal use. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D-C lends more than 150 videos, films and slide sets about great art and artists. If you and your kids still prefer to see art the old fashion way in an actual museum.
Some museums have free entrance days and other specials.
Be sure to call and ask.
