The Modern invites families with children to join us on Sundays at 2 pm for a special tour for our younger visitors. This tour visits a few works on view and includes a family activity focusing on a highlighted work from the Museum's collection. Meet your docent at the information desk.
Drawing from the Collection for Children is the first Sunday of the month at 2 pm. This free class includes a tour and replaces the normally occurring Sunday Family Tour.
Every first Sunday of the month, Drawing from the Collection for Children session is led by an artist who takes participants through informal drawing exercises in relation to works in the Modern’s galleries. For ages 5-12

New York International Children’s Film Festival Viva Kid Flicks celebrates the best Spanish-language short films from around the globe.
With shorts for ages 7+, Kid Flicks Two audiences are ready for plenty of fun, plus deeper themes and multilingual films with English subtitles. Stop motion equals nonstop action in Wild Lea, as a feral Colombian cat goes from lonely to loved, but can she learn to settle down with her new makeshift family? And if kooky tales are what you’re craving, you’ll flip your lid over the hilariously absurd split personalities of Matilda and the Spare Head.
Share your love of cinema with your little ones with Kid Flicks One, curated to charm all ages and especially introduce our youngest viewers, ages 3+, to their very first screen experiences. Little Emi in The Yogi Walrus craves ice cream and always wants more, but learning to savor is the cherry on top. Meanwhile, in Kenya’s Symphony, a stubborn 5-year-old reluctantly heads off to a performance with her mom, but when the music starts, will a passion bloom?
Each Drawing from the Collection for Children session is led by an artist who takes participants through informal drawing exercises in relation to works in the Modern’s galleries. The July session will be led by artist Sheryl Anaya.
Children under the age of 6 must be accompanied by an adult during the program. Bring a sketchbook and pencils. Attendance is limited, so early arrival is encouraged. A sign-up sheet is located at the information desk.
