The Benefits of an Afternoon at the Art Museum.
Educators and psychologists have long recognized the benefits of art creation as part of a child’s education. But simply spending time among great works of art can be even more rewarding. That’s why I invite you to skip the pool or park one Saturday afternoon and take your kids to an art museum instead.

Saturday, we were in #Minneapolis to see the exhibit #Art and Politics in #Germany 1918-1945 at the MIA, featuring incredible masterworks from Berlin's Neue Nationgalerie. It's powerful, and really shook me. The parallels between that period of German history and what we are seeing in the USA today in terms of attempts by state actors to bring the arts to heel, is unmistakable. Strongly recommend this exhibit, and Minneapolis is the place to see it.
