Irresistible and Engaging Environments
Experience
Visitors enter a world in which paintings – some iconic, some contemporary – leap of the canvas and children are invited inside to play with and think about art. As they play and move through the experience, children are challenged to ride a giant chicken, set up camp in the Canadian Rockies, and prepare dinner for a group of hungry farmers.
Skills in Action
The exhibit environments are accompanied by information on each artist and provide conversational prompts that employ visual thinking strategies. By spending time with the paintings and talking about them, children and adults learn to appreciate their own, as well as others’ opinions of individual art by:
- Using spoken words to communicate meaning
- Understanding what is communicated by others
- Engage in discussions with peers
- Build and use increasingly more sophisticated vocabulary
- Drawing conclusions about discovery

Testimonials
“My family loved this exhibit at Kidzu Children’s Museum. We enjoyed exploring Clementine Hunter’s Big Chicken painting in a new way and took home several cute photos of them riding the chicken from within the art work – something they couldn’t do with their own pet chicks! After visiting, we downloaded an image of the Mona Lisa and made our own Monas at home. Playing with art at Kidzu made our trips to the subsequent art museums more approachable and fun for the kids.”
“It was an exciting way to introduce artists and different art styles to tour groups ranging from grades Pre-K to 5. The fact that Framed was bilingual was a huge plus for us. Although many of our visitors’ children speak English and Spanish, a lot of their parents only speak Spanish, so it helped families to enjoy the exhibit as a unit.”
