Two brothers, one grandmother, and an afternoon at Louvre Abu Dhabi.

Luke and Jude visit the museum with Moni and little Will. They stand in front of paintings, walk around sculptures, and step into rooms made of light. They look, they ask questions, and then their bodies take over: on a pile of giant cushions they jump, roll, try handstands and strike poses nobody taught them.

Inspired by a real family visit, Our Afternoon at the Museum introduces children to simple ideas about Kandinsky, Calder, Picasso, Rodin, Chamberlain, Hokusai and James Turrell. It shows that art is not only something to look at. It can be felt with the whole body.

Illustrated in soft watercolor, this is a book for family reading, for conversations about art, and for getting ready for a first museum visit.
