About this tour
Spend two hours at Rome's National Gallery of Modern Art with guide AJ, moving through Italian modernist masterworks whilst your children sketch and paint inspired by what you encounter. Each gallery stop triggers a creative activity—AJ supplies materials, poses artistic challenges tied to the pieces on display, and parents can create alongside their kids. You'll leave with finished artworks, conversations about artistic movements, and a shared experience that beats a standard museum trudge.

What to expect
AJ meets your family and begins a leisurely gallery walk, stopping at significant works to discuss artistic ideas and historical context in accessible language. At each halt, children receive art supplies and a task: perhaps responding to colour choices, movement, or emotional content they've noticed. Younger kids can sketch in prams if needed. Parents are invited to create alongside them—this isn't passive observation but active engagement. The pace suits all fitness levels, with natural rest points built in. Expect roughly 90 minutes of guided looking and talking, 30 minutes of hands-on making.
Good to know
Museum tickets and all materials are included. Prams and strollers work fine on gallery floors. Public transport serves the location well if you're not arranging private pickup. Bring water; galleries can feel warm. Children under five sometimes tire of standing, so the creative tasks offer good mental breaks.
