My son loves art, it is one of his favorite things. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is one of his favorites, and they always have great kids and family friendly programming going on, which we both appreciate. He loves the new program, art splash, and how he gets to get his hands on art, create, and learn about new ways to paint and use colors. There is also an amazing new app that gives a kid’s eye view of the museum and the work hanging on the walls- you can borrow a tablet there, just leave a form of ID and pick it back up when you are done with it.
