Babies Belong at Art Galleries

Inspired by Kate Swanson

Do l have to feel guilty for exposing toddlers to the art gallery for five minutes while the remainder of the time is spent chasing them up and down the stairways?

My solution is to start them young before they can walk. 

Art galleries are a feast for a baby’s eyes. Under 12 months, a baby can decipher high-contrast images that stimulates vision and brain activity. 

Search for large canvases with defined colours as well as portraits. You can observe their reactions. 

Recommended are contemporary art displays with their intense contrasting  colours. I have however had success with the beautiful Canadian landscapes of the Group of Seven.

Art Galleries are an enjoyable experience, as well as a stimulating and fun place to visit.
