new britain museum of american art today... details later

hoping to score the free pass from manchester public library for the nbmaa.....dying to have the kids create something in the art lab there.


details later on...

*******
we had an absolutely fabulous time...here are some direct quotes from the boys:

"i love to look at sculptures." -dan

"seeing the big blue glass form hanging from the ceiling."  -rich

" i like the art lab." - adam


memberships to nbmaa are really worth considering as there are reciprocal memberships to at least a dozen or so other new england museums as well as discounts on classes, cafe and giftshop... current exhibit MC Escher runs through november- a great opportunity to see one of the largest Escher exhibits...

the museum also boasts a great art lab for kids; a place to create, play and learn which is open to all museum guests. classes for adults and children offered throughout the year as well.
located at the base of beautiful walnut hill park- you could even take a walk afterward (we had our doggie izzy with us, so we planned on it.) it really is a great way to spend the day, or at least--we think so.
