The Children's Gallery is devoted to learning through play and direct interaction, and encouraging exploration in art. Information about objects in the Museum's collection will help young people understand the evolution of art throughout time.
Visits are free.
Young visitors and their families are invited to meet some of the fascinating people whose portraits are in the Museum's collection. A magnetic word game encourages children to record their impressions, write their own descriptive wall texts or create a word poem to go with the portraits. The centerpiece of the gallery is a make-believe artist's studio, in which children can take turns being both artist and subject. Dress up in a period costume, strike a pose and have your very own Polaroid portrait made. Each child will take home his or her Polaroid portrait as a souvenir of their visit to the Children's Gallery.
