Family Art Adventures
Family Art Adventures is a free, drop-in program for children ages 0–5 and their caregivers to explore and learn together at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Families can enjoy hands-on play with age-appropriate toys and sensory activities in the classroom and join a museum educator in the galleries to discover a new artwork each month through guided activities.
Space is limited, so be sure to register in advance! Registration is requested, though walk-ins welcome if space is available.
There is no cost for Family Art Adventures.
