Others to Consider: Quincy Market, National Heritage Museum, Old Statehouse Museum, Concord Museum, Old South Meeting HouseThe Hands-On Art Museum's environment is that of an open art studio with original exhibits. Visitors explore a variety of art mediums and materials. Children move from work space to work space at their leisure. Each of the work spaces is full of art, information, and activities.
An art museum for kids, by kids — children have helped to create most of the Museum exhibits.
What separates the Hands-On Art Museum from other museums is that art supplies are available at all times to encourage visitors to create freely. The Museum is staffed with trained personnel who roam the floor and offer gentle coaching and guidance. The one thing we do discourage is 'good' clothing.
