Learn more about what goes on behind the scenes at the Addison and how exhibitions come together through demonstrations and hands-on activities.

All ages are welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Looking Together Family Cards
Each exhibition cycle, the Addison provides new Looking Together cards designed to help families engage with the artwork and each other in the galleries. Stop by the Visitors Services desk during your next visit to borrow a Looking Together tote bag with clipboards, paper, pencils, and this season's Looking Together cards!

Families & Educators Library
Families are invited to explore board books, picture books, short novels, and books containing activity ideas at the Museum Learning Center tables or in one of the armchairs, overlooking the Addison’s green roof and glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly.

The Addison’s Model Ship Collection
The Addison’s collection of 24 model ships has long been a favorite attraction for children. Writing about the Addison’s ship models in a recent Boston Globe article about great museums to visit with children, Mark Feeney observed “All are objects of wonder, beautifully detailed, and marvels of balanced strength and delicacy.” The Mayflower, the Santa Maria, and Half Moon, along with many other less well-known vessels, are all on view.
