Explore the Brooks as a family! The museum welcomes children of all ages and their caregivers to engage with the visual arts and have fun together. Learn more here on how to create an exciting day of fun at the Brooks.
Family Fun Guides
Free interactive family guides, which include activities for families
to complete both in the gallery and later at home, are created in
conjunction with special exhibitions as well as for the permanent
collection. Inside these guides families will find questions for guided
looking, information on artists and artwork, and suggestions for further
exploration. Guides are available at the Admissions desk and in the
special exhibition galleries.
Audio Guides
The Brooks offers audio tours of the permanent collection for both
children and adults and in English and Spanish! El audio tour tambien
està disponible en Español. Audio tours are also available for selected
traveling exhibitions.
