Kid Fun in Grown-Up Museums

Art museums are smart. They know that in terms of creativity and imagination, kids have a lot in common with the artists featured on their walls. To acclimate kids to new ways of looking and discussing what they see, grown-up museums are tailoring programs to young people and their families. It's a great way to groom future museum-goers and artists.

The New York Philharmonic, founded in 1842, is the oldest orchestra in the United States and one of New York City's most beloved institutions. It presents about 170 concerts a year, primarily in Avery Fisher Hall, and is seen regularly on the PBS series Live from Lincoln Center. Its conductors and music directors have included Gustav Mahler, Arturo Toscanini, Leonard Bernstein, Kurt Masur and Lorin Maazel. Native new Yorker Alan Gilbert succeeded Lorin Maazel in the 2009-10 season.
