A Real Parent's Story

Coloring at a world-class museum

My 6-year-old spent an hour coloring geometric patterns while a curator explained how they symbolize infinity.

Read full story

I worried a museum of Islamic art would bore my children. But the activity room with coloring tables hooked them. My daughter spent an hour drawing geometric patterns. A curator sat down and explained the star shapes represent the heavens and the endless repetition represents infinity. I got to explore the galleries in peace.
