This weekend my husband suggested a museum. Not being a museum kind of girl, I thought only if it's free. Amazingly enough the Minnesota Institute of Art is free thanks to the friends of MIA. So this afternoon we spent strolling through the Art Institute and I was pleasantly surprised with my enjoyment of the afternoon.
It was a time to stroll, think and view beauty. The Institute was filled with families, couples and art students. As we strolled through the exhibit room I observed quite a variety of folks. In one room, we encountered a mom and two kids. The two young boys were re drawing a photo while mom was able to view the art. In another room a family was sitting and viewing a photo. The kids were asking mom and dad questions about the photos. In yet another room, a baby was crawling on the floor while mom was looking at art. The museum attracts all walks of life with it's free afternoon of fun.
We will be going back. It's only 5 miles from the house, free admission and free parking. What more could you want. I imagine me blogging from there in the near future. The windows, wood flooring and atmosphere just increase one's creativity. Check out your museums...you may be surprised on the free fun you can have in your city too!

Hey Karen - here's another idea on the free museum slant... the public libraries offer a museum pass. Free admission to almost all the museums in the TC, you just check out the pass and ta-da! No admission charge. Check it out if you have the inclination :)
Love the blog!
