Our museums encourage kids to create, with their families and on their own. It’s not unusual to see children gathering around an outdoor table, turning glass jars into crepe paper collages that glow by flickering LEDs like stained glass in the night woods. Any museum can become a children’s museum in the right light.

Kidspace at Mass MoCA encourages young artists to get inspired by family exhibits that enthrall adults as much as young visitors.
The Clark Art Institute offers art and craft projects on family and free days, as well as a regular program for preschoolers and artmaking almost daily in the summer.
Art camps and activities explore magical worlds at the Berkshire Museum, Norman Rockwell Museum and Bennington Museum, and ArtWorks at the Norad Mill and the Vermont Arts Exchange run art programs for kids year-round.
