Kids can be Summer Art Explorers wherever they are—at home online, or on-site at the Museum. Every week, explore a new theme featuring extraordinary exhibitions, installations, and activities. Discover works of art in the MFAH collections that embrace every era of history across the globe.

This week brings the theme “Playing with Spheres and Gravity.” Activities include a drawing challenge, investigating gravity—and creating your own “bouncy ball”!

Print the downloadable guides to use at home, or bring them to the Museum—the choice is yours. You can find them all in both English and Spanish.
