Ellie running up the art museum steps (a la Rocky)
Getting cultured at the Rodin Museum.
Have you ever taken children to an art museum? Or, specifically, a 4-year-old and a 3-year-old? We used to be members and went often. Loved the art museum. Walking around in the quiet, holding hands, whispering comments about the paintings to each other, sitting in the grand foyer listening to live jazz while sipping a glass of wine. (Oh, how hip we were.)
This is a whole different experience. Lots of SHHHH!!! and Don’t touch that. Don’t touch that. I mean it, stoptouchingthat!! And I think I saw a painting or sculpture. Or something. Oh well. Hopefully our kids absorbed enough culture to last a few more years. Here’s my favorite art museum pic: of my kids grinning in front of the incredibly age-appropiate “The Gates of Hell” sculpture. Luckily, they didn’t look too closely at things. Except the nudes. Then they asked very loud questions, like “Where is the lady’s clothes?”
