Visitors’ Tips

•Explore the websites listed in this guide for information on special exhibitions, and free talks, tours, performances, and activities. Familiarize yourself with hours of operation, admis-sions fees, directions, parking, transportation, and stores.

•Check out the website Montage ([email protected]) for stories and videos about current cultural events, exhibitions, programs, and activities.

•Consider spending a few hours exploring a venue you’ve never visited before to experience the vibrant variety of U-M’s cultural offerings.

•Try making connections between a particular artwork, artifact, collection, or performance and your own personal experiences or the world at large.

•Look for connections between objects from different collec-tions, or between an object and a performance. Ask yourself, what do they have in common?

Tips for Visiting with Kids

•Learn about the subject of the exhibition, performance, or collection beforehand. Share a few interesting details/facts with your kids to pique their curiosity, or leaf through a book or article related to the subject with them.

•At the beginning of your visit, ask staff “what do you recom-mend for families?” and “what kid-friendly activities/programs are taking place today?” Look for printed family or children’s guides, and/or activity sheets.

•Talk to your kids while visiting the exhibition, collection, or attraction. Play a game of I Spy in which you say, for example, “I spy a pink
