The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is trying something new to introduce kids to the materials that make art.
Most art museums have education programs but the Met's 81st Street Studio space is something new.
At first glance, science education might not seem like a natural fit for an arts institution. But Heidi Holder, chair of the Met's education department, has overseen the project and begs to differ."The Met is a science institution," she said recently."We have three big parts of ourselves: our scientific research, our conservation and our art."Not only is science used to help conserve precious objects, she said, but it's also used to better understand the art itself.
Experts at Yamaha, he said, developed original instruments — their own takes on a marimba, on a kind of calliope, on castanets. Pillows on an artificially grassy hill are stuffed with scents like lemon and pine. There's the cozy circle underneath a feature he called the"komorebi tree" with dappled light that changes according to the time of day and eventually the seasons.The studio space incorporates new technology. This light table lets children manipulate their own drawings.
The 81st Street Studio is free to all and doesn't require a reservation; children and their grownups are welcome to drop in.The architects incorporated four of the senses; these pillows smell like different kinds of trees.
