Young Learner Tour: Portrait Party

Young Learner Tours, exclusively for children ages 3 to 6 accompanied by an adult, are designed to get little bodies moving, minds thinking, hands making and mouths talking about works of art. Participants go on an adventure through the galleries and look closely at works in the collection. They learn about the museum, practice museum manners and discover art concepts through developmentally appropriate discussions, a themed story and hands-on activities. During this portrait-focused tour, participants learn about people in art through a story and explore the galleries to compare two portraits. They discover what artists teach us about sitters through their use of symbols, posture, color and texture, then sketch their own self-portraits. One adult per three young learners is required. $5 young learners; free for adults. Reservations required. Reserve online.
