Best Museum Exhibits for NYC Kids Fall 2014: 7 New Installations for Families
Submitted by Stephanie Ogozalek on
Fall brings apple picking, the harvest season and a whole new crop of cool culture for families. We're kicking off our coverage with a roundup of the best new kid-friendly exhibits opening at NYC's world-class museums this autumn.
A slew of iconic TV characters are celebrated in a pair of retrospectives: What’s Up, Doc? The Animation Art of Chuck Jones at the Museum of the Moving Image and Somebody Come and Play: 45 Years of Sesame Street Helping Kids Grow Smarter, Stronger, and Kinder at Lincoln Center's New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, and both will offer hands-on programs for children. Plus the Children's Museum of the Arts is debuting a language-themed exhibit, the Brooklyn Children's Museum has a new installation featuring interactive STEM stations and the Museum of Modern Art is showcasing Henri Matisse's paper-and-scissor works. And if that's not enough for you, there's still time to see many of the exhibits we highlighted in our spring and summer museum posts, including kid-pleasers like the interactive Marvel’s Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. The Exhibition at Discovery Times Square.
