Families and Museums


I didn't see the exhibit "American Stories: Paintings of Everyday life, 1765–1915," but I did pick up the Family Guide for the exhibit when I popped in to see the (amusing, sociological, and silly-ish) Victorian collages. The strong, sans serif graphic muscularity of the Family Guide for "American Stories" surprised me—happily so. The bold design both grabs attention and signals that museums are lively. I'd love to know what Marla thinks about how kids might react to this family guide in particular and any other guides in general.
