Description To Make a World captures a 1940s America that was rendered fragile by the Great Depression and made anxious by a global conflict. Although much has been written about the glorious triumph of the Second World War, what has dimmed over time are memories of the anxious tenor of life on the home front, when the country was far distant from the battlefields and yet profoundly at risk. The exhibition centers on five paintings Ault made between 1943 and 1948 depicting the crossroads of Russell’s Corners in Woodstock, N.Y. The additional twenty-two artists represented in this exhibition include some as celebrated as Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth, while others are scarcely known to today’s art audiences. Taken together, their artworks reveal an aesthetic vein running through 1940s American art that previously has not been identified. From their remote corners of the country, these artists conveyed a still quietude that seems filled with potentialities. To Make a World brings viewers back into the world of the American 1940s, drawing them in through the least likely of places and spaces: not grand actions, not cataclysmic events, not epoch-making personalities, posters, and headlines, but silent regions where some mystery seems always on the verge of being disclosed. Alexander Nemerov, the Vincent Scully Professor of the History of Art at Yale University, is the curator of the exhibition.

Written by Chelsea Gonzales. As a traveling family, my little tribe can often be found visiting a museum in one city or another. It's one of our favorite ways to expand upon our roadschooling. However, because many museums are geared for teens and adults, we have also come to realize that sometimes the way in which we visit a museum makes a huge difference in the amount of learning and enjoyment our young son gets out of the experience. (This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for full details.) Below is a list of my top 8 tips for visiting a museum with little kids. By following these suggestions, you can ensure the younger members of your family get just as much out of your museum visits as the adults. Choose Carefully For very young kids, the type of museum you choose can make all the difference in the world. This doesn’t mean you have to stick to children’s museums only, but it does pay to look into what a museum offers before you visit. For instance, a museum that requires tons of reading and offers very little in the way of interactivity is likely to bore your little one. On the other hand, our six-year-old has tons of fun at museums that are geared toward older people, as long as the exhibits have plenty of pictures, videos, and staff to answer questions. This is especially true if the museum is focused on something he is already interested in. We usually find this kind of information before visiting by reading reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor. The A to Z Guide to Homeschool Field Trips is another great resource for making not only choosing a great location but also making the most of it. Research Beforehand If at all possible, before you visit, try to do a bit of reading on the focus of the museum you plan to attend. This will give your child a good foundation to build upon during the visit and will help make the information more concrete in his or her mind. Over the summer, my family had the privilege of visiting a number of amazing “living history” museums on the east coast. A week or so before each visit, we read a Magic Treehouse book about whichever time period that particular museum focused on. When we arrived, our son could enjoy the museum so much more because he already had a general understanding of the topic or the timeline. Discuss Connections Reading a book or two before you go will also provide you with some talking points with which to discuss with your kids. You'll be able to make connections between the books and the museum which will make the trip more much more interesting. Besides the connections between your trip-specific reading and the museum, also look for other connections the exhibits may have with things you’ve read about or discussed with your child in the past. Finding these connections can help your young one better understand the world and keep them interested in the information the museum offers. Read to Non-Readers If a younger visitor cannot read the information presented in various exhibits, read it to them! After all, staring at a bunch of old items or images without any idea what they might be or why they might be significant is no fun at all. Reading the information to your child will not only give them a better sense of the lessons the museum is trying to convey but will also help to encourage questions and open discussions. Take Part in Activities Many museums offer classes, shows, and activities with museum staff. These special events often show science or math in action. They allow you to jump into history and give you a place and time to ask more questions of the experts. Therefore, if you find that a museum offers these sorts of activities the day you visit, pay the extra price and take full advantage of what the establishment has to offer. Follow Their Lead Not every person will be interested in everything. Keep this in mind when visiting a museum with your kids and allow them to express their interests and lead the learning experience. If your child seems bored with a particular subject, don’t dwell on it. Likewise, if a museum just isn’t sparking their interest, it’s okay to leave. On the other hand, if an exhibit or an entire museum is especially fascinating to your child, do what you can to give them plenty of time to explore. Make plans to return soon. Change It Up Before we began our official roadschooling adventures, we visited our local science museum over and over again. We always had fun, but it was certainly getting stale. So, we branched out. On some occasions, we drove an hour or two to a nearby town. The travel time was always worthwhile and gave us something new to look at and learn. If you’re getting bored with the same old same old, see what else your area has to offer. You might be surprised how many unique little museums you can find within an hour’s drive. Seek Out Discounts Of course, visiting museums isn’t cheap when you’re paying full price. This can make it difficult to visit more than one museum in a given month. For this reason, it’s a good idea to seek out discounts. There are several different kinds of discounts to look for. These include: Annual memberships Reciprocal benefits Homeschool days Homeschool discounts Free days Resident discounts Military discounts Coupons Doing a bit of research and finding the discounts offered by a museum you’d like to see can pay off big time. We're often able to attend for free! I hope these tips help you and your family get the most out of your museum visits. I know they’ve helped us, and we now use these kinds of attractions as a regular part of our roadschooling experience. In fact, we will sometimes visit museums two or three times a week, and the things my son learns from these visits never cease to amaze me. Set your homeschool day on autopilot! Thank you!
