Young at Art Museum

Things to do at the Museum of Children's Art

There are a lot of exhibition halls, a library, an entertainment center, and all this, in addition to the classrooms, where master classes and catering establishments are held.

In order for people to truly understand art, they need to get acquainted with its masterpieces from a very young age. The best option for this is the game style, which allows you to gently and unobtrusively show eminent world-class works. That is how the Young at Art Museum brings up new geniuses who still do not even know about their future destiny.

The building, created by a joint project of the architectural studios AECOM and Glavovic Studio, was originally supposed to amaze people with its originality. Having set such a task for themselves, the architects applied the latest technologies in the development of the project. As a result, the constructed building was an example of "green" architecture, so fashionable in our time.

In the process of its construction, only environmentally friendly technologies were used. For the operation of the institution, energy from renewable sources is used as rationally as possible. The water use system has also been made very efficient. For the use of the latest environmental technologies in construction and operation, the Young at Art Museum of Children's Art was awarded the LEED Gold certificate.

Visiting exhibition galleries, young viewers have the opportunity to look at the work of artists of different times and creative directions, to get information about the features of architecture on the models of Japanese buildings, African villages, Mayan pyramids.
