What does this picture mean?

Kids at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection

Kandinskij, Picasso, Mondrian and... Pollock! What can we see in their pictures? Do all those messing lines have no meaning? Or is there some secret that we should know of?

The considerable gallery of paintings of Peggy will guide the young (and theris parents!) to discover the fascinating world of the XXth century.


What to expect: one of the most famous contemporary art museums in Europe, with works that especially belong to the surrealist and abstract movements.
What children will like: Peggy and her puppies' tomb, Calder's mobile, Magritte's Empire of Light, Peggy's earrings collection, Picasso's strange women...
What parents will like: to provide a simple and easy approach to avant-garde art to their children, the biography of Peggy Guggenheim, the charming atmosphere of a lived-in house, the great names of contemporary art.
