Guidelines
We love introducing kids to the Remai Modern, and see it as a great opportunity to learn and practice new social skills.
Below are some helpful tips to use when talking to your kids about what they can expect when visiting the museum. These guidelines help to ensure that the museum remains a welcoming place for everyone.
Use your indoor voice
We encourage discussion about the art, however it’s important to keep the volume of your voice low when speaking to each other. Loud noises and overlapping chatter can make it difficult for others to enjoy the space.
Stick together
It’s important for family members to stay close together. Behave politely by not running around or wandering off. This helps to ensure the experience is safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Be aware of your surroundings
Always be aware of what’s going on around you. Don’t stand in a way that block’s someone else’s view. Instead, stand off to the side, so that others can enjoy the artwork too.
Look with your eyes
In a museum or gallery, it’s important to look with your eyes, never your hands. Be respectful of the art and be very careful not to touch anything.
Educators
Introducing your students to art is a great way to inspire, evoke curiosity, and encourage deeper conversations about the world around us.
The Remai Modern offers resources and activities specially designed for educators and students to help kickstart a lifelong appreciation and love of art.
