About this activity

Delve into the wonderful world of art in Manchester at the Currier Museum of Art, where you can explore a number of artworks from iconic European and American painters, as well as art in other forms, plus you can visit the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Zimmerman House too!

The Currier Museum of Art is a great way to introduce those older and curious kids to the many facets of art - it's not just paintings! Exploring the collections and changing exhibits also offer a chance for kids to start appreciating art, and asking questions as they see the various styles and techniques.

What do they like? What don't they like? There's no wrong answer, so it's perfect for kids to express themselves and be inspired!

Have you heard of Monet, or O'Keeffe, or Picasso? Of course you have, and the Currier Museum of Art is home to art from all of those incredible artists.

In addition to the collections, the museum puts on changing exhibitions, and tours, as well as plenty of things to do for families.

Don't forget about the workshops and classes too!

The museum also offers tours of the Frank Lloyd Wright house Zimmerman House, but you need to reserve in advance, but it adds another great level of art appreciate and exploration to your art-tastic day out.

So why not visit the Currier Museum of Art on your next family day out in Manchester, because you never know how you might be inspired!
