School
In addition to guided tours, schools can take part in a three-visit program: Writing to Look, or Gallery and Studio Connections. With the help of writing and studio activities, these visits are a way for students to connect with the art in the galleries, and expand their visual vocabulary and knowledge of art making processes. Contact the Education Department online for more information.

– In late 1961, Henri Matisse’s painting “Le Bateau” was hung upside down at the Museum of Modern Art in New York for 46 days before anyone noticed.
