Families
Each family is different, with its own reasons for visiting and with varied learning styles among its members. At the Barnes Foundation, we offer programs that enrich the visiting experience of every family.
At the Barnes, you are encouraged to make observations and discuss what you see. During and after your visit, make a point of sharing your family's unique experiences with one another. The following family-focused activities will help you to make the most of your time looking at art together, as you explore the galleries:
Learn to see "as an artist sees," through activities that explain light, line, color, and space;
Use the family audio guide;
Explore portable play stations, examining the tools in an artist's kit and talking about the techniques the artist may have used;
Plan your visit using free family guides to the Barnes Foundation.
