Visit the Kids Art Studio for a fun, hands‑on art experience inspired by the Museum’s exhibitions and collection. Children can explore, imagine, and create while engaging with activities designed just for them. Try out a variety of materials—like collage, drawing, fiber art, and storytelling—and see what sparks your child’s creativity. Activities change monthly, so there’s always something new to discover. Kids can take their artwork home or leave it on display for other visitors to enjoy. Designed especially for children ages 3 and up and the adults who care for them—parents, grandparents, babysitters, and caregivers are all welcome!

MCNY Kids Tiny Tours
MCNY Kids invite children ages 3–5 and their caregivers to discover New York City through playful, interactive gallery experiences. Each tour uses movement, sensory exploration, close looking, storytelling, and imaginative play to help young visitors engage with art, objects, and stories from the city.
Children become explorers as they search for shapes, discover textures, follow movement, investigate color, and experiment with sound. Designed with early learners in mind, each experience encourages curiosity, observation, creativity, and conversation while giving caregivers opportunities to explore alongside their children.
With each Tiny Tour, families are invited to look closely, move, wonder, and discover something new together.
