Taubman Art Museum

 Every so often there is a free day at the Taubman Art Museum, so we decided to check it out.  When we arrived, there was a huge sidewalk art show going on, but we decided to hit the museum first and then come back for the art show.

This isn't a huge museum, but they do have several different exhibit halls.

 

 Cort and Reid admire some wall art from their stroller.

 

 I liked some of the rural paintings -

 

 This piece was actually a sculpture -

She's pulling an arrow out of his arm -

So of course the boys' favorite part was ARTventure.  A room full of activities for kids - just pull a box off the wall!

Cort and Reid get all artistic-

 

 They both wanted the chair that Reid has in this picture.  It caused several fights.  The chairs were EXACTLY the same and I gave them EXACTLY the same blocks.

 

 Pierce liked painting on a slab of rock with water.  The twins enjoyed this too.

 

 This is a huge moving compilation of crystals inside a dark room, and there are levers for the kids to adjust the lights.  Outside, you can watch a large gray screen to see all the lights at play.  Pierce really enjoyed messing with the levers.

 

Then we walked through the sidewalk art show outside.  It was huge - it went on and on.  We didn't buy anything, but did lots of admiring.

 

A fun (and cheap!) way to spend a Saturday morning.
