[RP TownTalk] Fwd: Stories in Art: Investigate Pablo Picasso

[Sue Collins]

Don't have kids, but I'm sure people who DO have children would enjoy this.  Thanks for the info!  Actually, we're lucky to live in this area, as many of the museums in DC and surrounding towns have lots of activities for children and adults and it's worthwhile checking them out.  My niece and nephew LOVED the insect zoo and the Discovery Room at the Natural History Museum when they were little.

Not sure if you are aware of the great kids activities at the National Gallery.  If not, here is one that we have participated in.

You will receive a notebook to accompany the Winter Story Series and a stamp for each program attended. Collect all three stamps to receive a prize!
