For Elementary School-Aged: Chris Burden's Metropolis at LACMA(02 of06)
Chris Burden's miniature metropolis is like Hot Wheels on Steroids - a futuristic city with driver-less cars, calibrated traffic lights, and beautiful buildings. Burden's "Metropolis II" LACMA exhibit invites discussions of the future and transportation, all in a family-friendly and visually stimulating way. Visit thefamilysavvy.com for a review of the exhibit!
For Middle School-Aged: Messerschmidt & Modernity at the Getty(03 of06)
Sure, some sculpture exhibitions might be a bit bland. But these busts are anything but, with wild and unique faces created to satisfy the 19th century fascination with expression and emotion. The Family Savvy recommends a visit to the Expression Lab after viewing "Messerschmidt & Moernity" at the Getty - see how such artwork was created using your own face as a model!
