Kids Corner Interactive Gallery

Kids’ Corner is a unique area within the Museum where children finally have the freedom to touch the art on the walls and even design their own artwork.

The first part of Kids’ Corner that children usually visit asks the question, “What Can You Create?” A gigantic white wall is covered in pegs for hanging colored pieces of foam. Young artists are encouraged to think of the wall as a blank canvas and the foam pieces as paint. They can use as many pieces as they like and leave their masterpiece up for others to see.

Next, in the Artist’s Studio, curious children will learn to identify the tools of the artist and some of the different subjects that artists like to paint. Remember, this is their chance to touch actual painted works.

The Story Station provides couches, chairs, and a small library of children’s books. Adults can relax and share one of the many stories available with their kids. All of the stories are related to art in some way.

Finally, the Elements of Art allows for direct interaction with three reproductions of the Museum’s priceless works. By feeling a painting’s texture and changing its colors and line patterns, these elements become easy to understand in the world of art.
