One of the hands-on exhibits at the Dallas Arboretum when we visited was "Small Houses of Great Artists."
Each house reflects a different well known artist. (Georgia O'Keefe, Vincent Van Gogh, Georges Seurat, Pablo Picasso, and Claude Monet)
The kids got to go in and out of the houses. The shade was a nice break even if it wasn't much.
While the outside of the houses usually gave enough clues to know which artist it represented, sometimes the inside was a little too obvious.
The kids carried their water bottles around to keep hydrated as they explored the art.
They wanted to play, not pose for photos, but this was just the perfect set up!
Later when we were looking at art cards, the kids pointed to one of the Monet paintings and said, "We've been there!" This is a great way to literally bring art to life.
