Tips for a Successful Visit to an Art Museum with Kids

Pittsburgh has so many wonderful museums!Guidelines below are helpful if you or the kids are new to museum visits; or if you'd like to make museum visits more interesting and enjoyable for yourself or them! Click for details

1) The Basics! No touching, no running, no yelling.

2) Do Your Research! Find out what is at the museum before you visit. Are there tours offered for children or families? Are there certain sculptures that can be touched? Is there a cafe?

3) Set a Time Limit! Figure out what you would like to see and go to that wing or exhibit. Have fun and head out or they'll never want to go back.

4) Make It Fun! Try a scavenger hunt. Lots of kids do better with a friend along so make it a play date with a buddy.

5) Ask Questions! Sometimes one question can start a dialogue that you would never have thought existed.

6) Set an Example! If you're excited to be there, they will be excited to be there. Don't be too disappointed if the child "is bored" the first time you attend a museum.

7) Reward! After your museum trip, pass out rewards for good behavior. It can be something as simple as cookies brought from home to an ice cream purchased in the museum café.
