First Saturdays for Families: The Imaginary Museum
Museums are wondrous places where exhibited objects can create new connections to the world. Explore “Rosemarie Trockel: A Cosmos,” and discover a universe shaped by her ideas and interests. In her imaginary museum, Trockel places her own artworks on equal footing with other objects—creating new relationships with the world around her. After studying some of the connections between Trockel’s artworks and objects by artists that she considers kindred spirits, create your own “cabinet of wonders” with New Museum educators and share the things that have influenced you in your own life.
New Museum First Saturdays for Families are free of charge. This program is designed and recommended for families with children aged between four and fifteen years, and includes free New Museum admission for up to two adults per family. Children under eighteen are always admitted free. No preregistration is required. Space is limited and tickets are given out on a first-come, first-served basis. Your entire party must be present; tickets will not be given to partial parties.
