T
he Joslyn Art Museum is a masterpiece serving as one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture. The pink marble exterior is constructed of Etowah Pink (Georgia Pink) marble while the interior is comprised of 38 different marbles from around the world.
Inside, admire Dale Chihuly’s monumental glass sculpture on your way to the permanent collections of art ranging from ancient times to the present. View works by iconic artists Rembrandt, Monet, Degas, Pollock, Renoir and more. Major temporary exhibitions are displayed throughout the year. Unleash your little (and inner) artist at ART WORKS, 1,500 square feet of interactive space complete with nine activity stations so you may create your own masterpieces, like stop-motion animation and high-tech paintings. Make your way outdoors to the garden galleries, notably the colorful Discovery Garden, complete with 20 artworks. Joslyn offers free admission year-round, as well as mobile and guided tours. First, satisfy your appetite for art, then your hunger with lunch or a snack at Café Durham, located in the Joslyn’s atrium. Before leaving, stop in the Hitchcock Museum Shop and select from an array of distinctive gifts and souvenirs.

Kim recommends allowing at least an hour (or two) in ART WORKS, so the entire family has time to create art together.
