Visit a local museum or art gallery.

“Through the Hirshhorn Museum there was a lot of walking while viewing the interesting and beautiful art throughout the whole building. The building was in a circle formation, with line paintings covering the walls in the hallways. [...] There was so much art to see in this museum I did not know where to start! I took pictures of all the art in both museums that I was interested in and might of wanted to learn more about. There were many pieces of art I took pictures of and liked, which made me feel overwhelmed because I was not sure what I was going to choose for the piece I found most interesting.”

“We decided to take this opportunity to visit museums that we hadn’t seen before. We visited the Museum of the American Revolution and the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, and the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site and the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum in Long Island. These museums provided many different experiences, from large brand new institutions to small local museums. As much as I enjoyed visiting these museums, what I loved more was visiting with my parents. Getting to share the experience with each other, discussing what we found interesting, how my mom could use what we learned with her students, how these compared to the many other museums we have visited, gave a new dimension to the experience.”
