The Museum of Fine Art had an open house on MLK Day. Free admission for all! We took advantage of it, along with half of Boston. Mark enjoyed the art, but Frances enjoyed the kids activities. One activity asked the kids to trace their hands, cut out their hands, mix paint from primary colors to match their skin tone, paint their hands and tape their hands to a mural of the city. We did our best.
Tracing....
I may have helped with the cutting.
Gearing up for painting...
The step about mixing the paint colors to match her skin color was a little lost on Frances. Blue it is!
And taping up the hand.
Frances was pretty sure we were supposed to stop by to pick up her hand before leaving the museum for the day. Fortunately, she forgot that plan and we managed to leave the museum without having to extricate her hand from the hundreds that were eventually taped up.
After the hand activity, we explored the rest of the museum. Frances was most taken with this glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly. Can't say that I blame her.
Here's Frances telling her dad about the big, glass Christmas tree, and The Belly at about 36 weeks off to the left.
