Once family unfriendly (or so we've heard), The Art Institute now doesn't settle for just opening its arms. Its family center, which opened with the Modern Wing last year, is free every day, and that's only the starting point. Kids always are admitted free to the museum proper as well. And there are days like this one, Kaleidoscope - A Family Day, when the museum even risks turning off the old art crowds to draw in kids and engage them.
Today, there were five projects for all ages and one for teens, each in separate classrooms in the family center; three storytime sessions in another classroom; and, get this, three more projects for all ages in the (gasp!) art galleries.
No stodgy art museum is this!
that animation project was pretty cool... a little speedy but cool... inspired me... ;)
