The Metropolitan Museum thinks of children
- The largest museum in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has been forced to close its doors due to the coronavirus epidemic in New York. But that doesn’t stop the famous New York museum from staying in the spotlight!
- Its website even offers a section specially designed for children, MetKids. You can access it directly via this link.
- The museum then offers various free activities, starting with a virtual treasure hunt in the alleys of the museum. Your children are invited to browse a large drawing, on the principle of the book “Where is Charlie? “. They will then be able to discover the most beautiful wonders of the museum. The explanations remain in English but this is the opportunity for you to introduce your children to art and English. 2 in 1! ????
A time machine
- The Metropolitan Museum goes even further by inviting young visitors to climb aboard its astonishing time machine… Are you intrigued? I tested for you ! ????
- The principle consists of choosing an era, a continent and a theme then pressing the “Push” button at the bottom right of the screen. Let’s go ! The machine will then present you with works of art that correspond to your “journey”. As far as I’m concerned, I programmed the machine to see the inventions that made their appearance in Europe a century between 1400 and 1600. And I discovered the crossbow and a knight’s armor.
