Kids in the Galleries

The DAI Galleries welcome guests of all ages. Here are some helpful guidelines to ensure our youngest visitors can enjoy the artwork in a way that is safe and respectful of the space, the artwork, and other gallery guests.

  • Please do not touch the art! Parents, please hold the hands of kids that may be too young to remember this rule.
  • The galleries are a place for careful walking, no running or playing. Always pay attention to where you are going so you don’t walk into any artwork.
  • The artwork may deal with difficult or mature themes at times. Pay attention to content warning signage, and ask a DAI team member if you have questions about the content of a specific exhibition before introducing it to a young viewer.
  • All children must be closely accompanied by an adult at all times.
  • Ask at the front desk about coloring pages, activity books, or other handouts.
  • Use the QR codes or Bloomberg Connects lookup numbers to listen to exhibition audio tours. The Bloomberg Connects app and website is free and great for non-readers and readers alike.
