Today we visited Artequin, which is an interactive art museum unlike any I have ever visited. On the first floor, there are touchable reproductions of famous paintings and sculptures, displayed at a level that is perfect for kids to really see and explore them. A guide even took one of the paintings off the wall so we could get a better look at it. That floor also houses a virtual reality box, which was fun to play around with.
The second floor is full of interactive art stations, where you can learn about artists' tools, warm vs. cool colors, and the mixing of primary colors to make new colors. Another area focuses on upcycled art. There are also plenty of opportunities to create your own masterpieces.
And, the building itself is a work of art, which was built in France for the 1899 World Fair, and then disassembled, shipped to Chile, and reassembled some years later. It is perhaps the best art museum I have ever been to!
