Favorite Books about New York

We spent one week traveling with our two preschoolers from New York City to Hudson. We focused on visiting art at sculpture parks because our two little boys love being outside (and we wanted to see art). Books help us prepare for new experiences, and remember our adventures.

Hudson, New York

Before visiting Art Omi, a rural art center and sculpture park, we spent the morning exploring Hudson, New York.

James Turrell in the Dorotheenstädt Cemetery

I’m not a huge fan of taking my children on guided tours of artworks, especially large groups of adults. Adults and children look at art differently, and the institutions usually want my children to act more like adults. I’ve learned over the past few years of writing this blog that I prefer to look at …

Museum of Design Atlanta: Designing Playful Cities

Yayoi Kusama: From Here to Infinitiy!

Infinity is my six year old’s new favorite number. It makes his eyes pop out of his head and jaw drop. Taking him to “Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors,” a retrospective exhibition that includes six of Kusama’s infinity rooms, will be fun! Originally produced by the Hirschhorn Museum, the exhibition is touring North America (coming to Cleveland …
