Bring your little ones to enjoy an interactive experience of looking, sharing, and working together in the galleries. This month, visit Human Interest: Portraits from the Whitney’s Collection. Try out our special touch objects to explore how artists create portraits with unexpected materials—broken plates, wax, and even real hair!

This program has been developed specifically for kids ages 4 to 5. Siblings are welcome to join the group but must have a ticket.
