Children and families

The Yale Center for British Art offers programs for children and families that explore the collections and special exhibitions. Through gallery experiences and hands-on activities, participants of all ages and abilities learn about British art and culture.

Exploring-art-ism

“Exploring-art-ism” is a free program for families with children ages 5-12 with autism or other sensory processing differences. Participants engage with artwork in the galleries and create a hands-on project in a museum classroom. While the needs of individuals with sensory processing differences are prioritized, it is also fun for parents, siblings, and other relatives too!
