Programs for Kids @ Joslyn
We aim for kid-friendly! Besides special programs and events, Joslyn provides children and
families with tools to engage in independent art exploration and
hands-on learning. When you're at the Museum, visit Art Works: A Place for Curiosity to enjoy nine hands-on activity stations with connections
to art in the galleries, or stop by the Scott EdTech Gallery to pick-up a
printed gallery guide, check-out an Art Pack, explore art using an
iPad, and more!
