Visiting Art Galleries on-line

There are some really great galleries that can be visited on-line and that have some great activities for children. Whilst this will never replace the fantastic experience of visting a real art gallery withreal children and exploring real art this is something that could be explored after a visit or as a build up to a visit...or instead of drill and skill computer games.

A really new way to make a collage thanks to the Museum of Modern Art in New York!

I hope these can be used to inspire you and your children in some new ways of thinking and making art.
