It has been such a long time since we have had a fun day at a museum. Mostly because museums, including the Natural History Museum LA, were shut down for what felt like eons. It has been a rough year and a half for those of us who enjoy spending their free time wondering the halls of museums. I have to say, it felt like incredible to be back at the Natural History Museum with my boys.Tip: To prepare for a long day of walking, talking, experimenting, and walking some more, I prepared with com

Our town has a small art museum. The word museum may be stretching it a bit. It's more of a large collection in a public building. Regardless, it's some great art. Our past trips have been a whirlwind. $10 for entry for our family and only 10 minutes were spent. My boys don't REALLY looked at the art. That's the problem. They act like it's a race to get from one one room to the next. I cooked up this fun activity to slow the pace a bit. My sons both like look-and-find books, so I had a hunch this would be a hit. I was right. Download the 2-page PDF I made from Google Drive here. Page 2 contains a template to trace and cut out the squares. I made some printable cards. Then I went to the museum's website and printed photos of the collection. If they were small, I right-clicked, saved the photo to my desktop and then printed the photo larger. Then I cut small squares from each photo and glued them to the card. It was up to my sons to find the details from their cards in the paintings and sculpture in the museum exhibitions. I put each of their cards (they were the same so they could work together) on a mini clipboard and gave them each a pencil to cross through the images they found. (Note: make sure writing utensils are okay in your museum. Most allow pencils, not pens or markers.) They spent more time looking at the art, but still missed a few. I gave them hints. "I think you missed something in this room," I said. The thrill of the hunt was exhilarating. This was our best museum visit yet!

In his balanced compositions, the artist captures a sense of awe while celebrating the intricacy of grand architecture. Born in 1953 in Florence, Italy, Listri began taking photographs at a young age. In 1981, he helped found FMR magazine and went on to publish his own work in numerous architectural books. The artist’s works have been exhibited in the Morgan Library and Museum in New York, the Museum of Modern Art in Bogota, the Vatican Museum in Rome, and the Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art, among others.
