The Met (again!)

This time with Owen and Oscar and Ella. Rob had to work. The tour guide brought binoculars for the kids to view a landscape painting so they could actually feel like they were out in nature. He told us that when the painting was made in the late 1800's the artist told people to bring their opera glasses to feel like they were in nature too.. The artist charged people 25 cents to view his painting. He made $10,000. I could tell the tour guide really liked the painting and that story.



Owen took the Binoculars to the next painting when it was his turn. I love the idea for kids to bring binoculars to an art museum.
