FAMILY SPOTLIGHT

Introducing the McLeod – Messam Family!Cool Culture visited the New York Transit Museum with the McLeod-Messam family to learn about their favorite Family Pass adventures. Meet Cool Mom Yolanda, Cool Dad Frederick and Cool Kid Devonte (age 4).

hen did your family join Cool Culture?

Yolanda (Cool Mom): In October of 2010 - I want to say thank you to PAL World of Creative Experience (Devonte’sschool) for helping us get with the Cool Culture program.

What are some of the things you like about Cool Culture?

Yolanda: It is a sharing time with all kinds of learning together. My son nevertalked that much before, but now he has so much to say when we go to these places. He is so excited and he's learning. It is a whole lot of family fun!

What makes the New York Transit Museum such a special place to visit?Devonte (Cool Kid): The trains and the photos of them moving! The C train is my favorite train. Yolanda: You get to learn together and that's really great. And my son loves trains – I mean really loves trains. I like the old signs. My son comes for the trains and I come for the signs.

Of all the museums you’ve visited, where do you have the most fun?

W

Yolanda: I would say theNew YorkTransit Museumbecause it is Devonte's favorite place.

And what places are you planning to visit next?

Yolanda: Our next stop is the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum because Devonte likes the Navy commercials. And we'll have to go back to the New York Transit Museum because Devonte is so happy there!

What advice would you give to families thinking about using their Cool Culture Family Pass?

Yolanda: You can pack some lunch to save money. That's what we do. I pack lunch bags and we have our snacks and our juice.

Good idea! Most visitor services desks will have tips for where you can eat your snack if you’re unsure.

There’s really something for everyone. Are there other places your family has visited that have been especially fun?

Yolanda: The Brooklyn Botanic Garden. When we went there, they had an exhibit about farming and gardening. It was hands-on, so we got to build a little garden plot.

Are there things your Cool Culture trips have taught you about your son? Yolanda: How much he loves to learn. He doesn't even act this excited about parks! Devonte wants to know everything and he will break it down to the last thing. That's great when he asks a lot of questions because it makes him want to learn even more. At each place we go with our Family Pass, we learn something new about Devonte.

- by Erin Cassin

Frederick (Cool Dad): It is a nice place to bring kids. I can take Devonte around and show him all the different trains and buses. He enjoys himself and that's what I like.

Mountains of Asia and surrounding regions. Best of all, your museum visit is family-friendly: here, you can borrow activity packs for kids, bring strollers into the galleries and learn fun facts from cheerful museum educators.

“We’re so excited when very young people want to come and see the art,” says Aoife Pacheco, Early Childhood & Family Learning Manager at the Rubin Museum of Art. “Everyone is super friendly to the youngest visitors.”

Free Family Activities

A wonderful way to get to know the museum is by checking out the drop-in workshops – they feature excellent activities for kids and are free for all Cool Culture members.

Join other families for interactive tours, art projects, and more! You and your little ones are sure to have fun,

even if you have never been to a museum before.

“We love to have all different families,” Ms. Pacheco explains, “And if it is their first time in a museum, that is just as great!”

Awesome Education Center

Play movement games in the Drum Beats & Little Feet workshops (every Friday from 11:00 a.m. - noon, ages 3-5) or relax during storytime in the Yak Packers Early Childhood Art Making classes (every Wednesday & Thursday from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m., ages 2-4) for educational and fun family time. Plus, explore paintings, sculptures and objects in the museum and create your own artwork at Family Art Labs (every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. - noon, ages 5+).

All drop-in workshops are held in the museum’s brand-new education center – this inviting space is filled with cheery colors, plenty of light, and lots of room!

The festive day will feature lots to see and do in the galleries and education center. Journey through the museum on a storytelling adventure, make special flags filled with wishes, create art to wear home at a button-making station, help with a giant sand art project, check out traditional butter sculptures, and even taste butter tea (see page 5 for more info).

Fun Cultural Connections

And don't be shy about sharing your own culture during this tradition-filled day! Swing by the education center to trace your family's roots on huge maps created just for the celebration.

Bringing cultures together is an important part of this museum on any day you decide to visit!

“We want to connect the culture that we're sharing to all the cultures of the people who come to visit,” Ms. Pacheco says.

Find out about faraway places like Nepal and India at the Gateway to Himalayan Art exhibition. Borrow a museum

magnifying glass and see what detailed patterns you can spot in the sculptures, paintings and instruments.

Play more learning games at the Modernist Art from India: The Body Unbound exhibition, which is filled with bright paintings of people in different settings. Practice colors and shapes, count fingers and toes, and find the animals hiding in some of the artwork.

Insider's Tip

Make your museum adventure more interactive by asking about Yak Packs and touch carts at the front desk – they are free to borrow and great for kids!
