Fine Arts Museum

One of the moms in our homeschool group arranged a free school tour at the fine arts museum downtown. There were only limited spots for the tour, but we managed to squeeze in. Photography is allowed in only a few rooms of the museum and I turned off my flash to be safe.

The younger kids got a "storybook tour." The docent led us to three different types of portraits, led a discussion of each one, and read a picture book in front of two of them.


After the tour we went to the nearby gardens for a picnic lunch. It was cold!


Then we got to go back inside and wander around on our own. Sparkle hooked up with one of the other girls her age and they drew several items that piqued their interest.
