"Fun with the Family"

More than 1.5 million works of awesome art from all over the world, spanning some 5,000 years of creative expression and culture, are housed inside this 450,00 square-foot Beaux Arts building. The Egyptian Collection, complete with a real mummy, is one of the best in the West, and kids will enjoy exploring the twenty-eight fascinating American-period rooms.
This was the first museum to display African objects as art instead of artifacts, and the Native American collection is impressive as well. Curators have amassed one of the best collections of paintings, prints, and sculpture in the country, with the works of Degas, Rodin, Matisse, van Gogh, Picasso, and the hudson river school represented. special programs for children ages 4 through 18 are offered seasonally, and there are drop-in art projects, performances, and concerts on weekends.
