Think most art museums go right over the heads of your kids? The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore wants to change that by making art accessible to visitors of all ages. Not content with merely a program or two, this museum features more activities and resources than a lot of “children’s museums.” On selected Saturdays at 1pm, you can take a guided 45-minute Family Tour through the museum’s collection of world art from pre-dynastic Egypt to 20th century Europe. Drop-in art activities on Saturdays from 11am-3pm let your children create artful projects related to the current collections or special exhibits. On weekends there are free interactive gallery materials located throughout the museum. These Artcarts, Discovery quilts, and Art sacks are filled with activities related to different collections – Greek, Renaissance, 19th century, and Asian. In addition, there are also Family Guides and Wondrous Journeys Passports that lead your kids to different pieces of artwork with fun facts about each. Check out their website for information on their Family Festivals and Family Flicks as well as tips to make the most out of your family’s visit.
