What’s in the Box?

Your preschooler will spend a lively morning exploring the North Carolina Museum of Art alongside you and other families. Designed for children ages 3 to 5, this program combines a guided visit through the museum galleries with hands-on creative time in the studios. Kids and adults discover artwork together, then use stories and inspiration from the collection to make their own pieces. The session also includes movement activities and playful exploration—plenty of chances for your child to engage with art in a way that feels natural and fun. Tickets are $12 for general admission and $10 for members. Adults and any siblings under 3 attend free. This is a great option if you're looking for a structured but relaxed way to introduce your young child to art and creativity in a museum setting designed just for their developmental stage.
