Gravity and Grace: Monumental Works by El Anatsui
at the Brooklyn Museum of Art (through August 4) is a must for families this summer.
Top 10 reasons why:
The subway station is right in front of the museum.
Free admission for kids 12 and under, adults have a suggested donation. Pay as you feel is fair for your situation. (We gave $10 for our family of 4.)
The museum is air-conditioned and not too crowded. We arrived on Saturday at 11:45 -- no lines to get in!
El Anatsui's work is constructed from found objects such as bottle caps, wire, and other detritus. Ask your kids what they think these enormous "tapestry-like" installations are made from. They will be amazed once they view up close!
The exhibition is not too large, and is varied enough to make each gallery room unique and exciting.
Stations are set up for kids to "make their own" El Anatsui with recycled paper and twist-ties
Video monitor and seats for viewing El Anatsui's workshop and how things are assembled - compelling enough for my 6-year old boy!
Everyone loves a mummy! After the final room of the exhibition, walk down the back stairs 2 flights to see the Egyptian exhibition - featurung a mummy once thought as a "lady." (Until the fateful CT scan.) To see a mummy going to the hospital, check out this video: http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/mummy_chamber/interactive/
THE FOUNTAIN - bring towels. Finally, outside the museum (to the right as you exit) is a great fountain that kids love to run alongside to cool off. Bring towels, and stay a while - plenty of seating for tired parents to watch kids having summer fun.
Ice cream, italian ice and frozen yogurt vendors right outside (for pre- or post-fountain).
