We made sure that we visited the Chagall for Children exhibit at the Pensacola Museum of Art during the Opening Reception. We had a great time and the kids loved exploring the different parts of the exhibit. Each exhibit activity is focused around a Chagall painting. For example, for Job Tapestry, children can practice weaving on a large weaving screen.
We visited the museum with a friend and all four children worked for several minutes trying to create a tapestry of their own! My daughter’s favorite part was the phone that was found at each station. The phone plays a recording with information about many of the paintings. Listening to the phone, she would exclaim different phrases she heard about the painting while pointing out what the recording was talking about.
We give this exhibit a big thumbs up and hope you will stop by! The Pensacola Museum of Art offers free entry on Tuesdays but it does get crowded in the summer with day cares and group visits.
The Pensacola Museum of Art is located at 407 S. Jefferson Street and the contact number is 850-432-6247.
