Museum aims for kids
Recall the hushed halls of the art museum of your childhood? Marching single file past creepy statues with classmates, led by a grim docent bent on maintaining decorum? Like a cross between a mausoleum and a library, it was definitely no place for squirmy little kids with sticky hands. Todays Cincinnati Art Museum is definitely not about decorum, and its all about kids.
Some 1,503 children and their families streamed through the museum on the first Saturday in January - a record for the Family First Saturday program. Children clutching scavenger hunt lists skipped through the pillared galleries, chirping questions to visiting sculptors, elbowing one another out of the way. Downstairs, tots intently folded fuzzy wire sculptures over pint-size tables in the education center.
