About this activity

Get ready to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of art, because we're in Idaho and off to explore the Boise Art Museum! The mission of the Boise Art Museum is to create visual arts experiences for all who visit, and engage and inspire them through their exhibitions, collections, and educational opportunities.

Best suited for slightly older kids, the artworks within the museum can really show to kids how art comes in so many different forms, and there is no right or wrong. It's all about expressing yourself, and you never know how they might be inspired!

The permanent collection within the Boise Art Museum comprises more than 3000 pieces thematically exhibited with a large focus on 20th century American art. Travelling and special event exhibitions add to the grandeur with a wide range of subjects and origins keeping every visit fresh and interesting. 

Kids might want to study the complexities of glass blowing, or they might want to focus on a particular artist who is featuring within one of the exhibits. 

Some of the exhibitions might cover historic artworks too, from sculptures to pottery, offering an insight into the history of various cultures from around the world.

Boise Art Museum also offer fun activity packs for kids ages 4 to 12 to use as they explore the exhibitions, including games and stories to make the experience more enjoyable and interactive!

So why not be inspired on your next family day out? It's an art-tastic experience, and it's waiting for you!
