About Albright Knox Art Gallery

If you want to introduce your kids into that amazing world of art, there is no better place than an art gallery! 

The Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo is an great experience for those slightly older kids who want to explore the 150 year old tradition of collecting, conserving and exhibiting art!

The younger kids will love seeing all the colors and shapes in the collections, and those older kids can start to look at WHY they like the art, and see the different techniques and tones used in each piece.

The great thing about the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, is that it teaches kids that art isn't just paintings! If you look at the permanent collection on display - there are sketches, life art, paintings, sculptures, tapestries...art comes in all forms, and there is no right or wrong.

You never know - they might get inspired to get creative themselves and you might have a hidden masterpiece in the house! (One day their name will be on the wall of the gallery!)

The exhibitions at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery often change, so make sure you check out the dates so you know you're not missing out on something you really want to see. 

The gallery isn't just art - it's very hands on with their programs - one of which is the family workshops! These workshops allow families to get together and actually get creative right then and there! The cost includes admission to the museum, so why not get those hands dirty and all have an art attack! 

There are lessons, animation workshops, theater workshops and activities over summer for the kids to be involved in.

Get creative with the family at this interesting Buffalo gallery!
