The Loop
Families can drop into the Ryan Learning Center’s Art Exchange to make a colorful abstract drawing inspired by Luchita Hurtado and the exhibition Beyond Form: Abstraction at Midcentury.
The visit can also include the Multisensory Gallery or JourneyMaker, where families design and print a personalized museum tour. Early learners will find blocks, books, stacking toys, and puzzles, and young children can participate in the art project with caregiver help.
The center is always free, and no ticket or registration is required. Enter through the Modern Wing and turn left on the first floor. Children 13 and younger must remain with an adult age 18 or older.
