Babies at the Museum
Babies at the Museum is growing! We are excited to now offer two monthly sessions on the second Thursday and second Saturday of each month, both held from 9 to 10:30 am and featuring the same theme and activities. To make space for more families to participate, please register for only one session per month. Babies at the Museum is designed for ages 0 to 24 months and their caregivers.
This program begins with complimentary coffee and social time in the Family Space. After settling in, visitors will head to the galleries for a fun-filled thirty minutes in front of the month’s featured work of art, before the Museum opens to the public. We will wrap up the morning with playtime in the Family Space, where babies can enjoy age-appropriate activities and adults can plan their next Museum visit!
Each month, Babies at the Museum will:
LOOK
at works of art
LISTEN
to music in the galleries
SING
classic children’s songs
PLAY
and move
READ
books for babies

Playdate & Create will be offered on the fourth Saturday of each month.
