The Utah Museum of Fine Arts introduces those of all ages to art exhibits from around the world. There is something for every taste from African sculptures to Desert Photography. With admission, which is free for kids under six, the UMFA offers free family backpacks for check out that contain activities, games and puzzles to guide you on your exploration of the collections.

Our families were taken on a short tour of the museum and I was surprised to see the variety of pieces and styles represented. My two year old enjoyed trying to emulate the face on a certain blue head sculpture and seeing if he could beat mommy to the “do not touch” items.

After exploring, we were able to take part in The Utah Museum of Fine Arts 3rd Saturday activity. The museum offers free activity days designed for children 4-12 years of age year round on the 3rd Saturday of every month. The hands on activities run from 2 to 4 pm in the Emma Eccles Jones Education Center Classroom. There is no reservation required.Participation is on a first come first serve basis.

During our visit, the activity was learning about printing. We were able to go through the process of seeing one of our drawings printed on to large post cards. This was a hit with the kids and adults alike!
