Don't take kids to museums

[niki]

Because if you do, your 4-year old will throw a snack cup at a bajillion dollar painting. 

Like mine did today.

I was completely mortified. Thankfully, no damage was done to the painting. Needless to say, we will not be visiting the museum for the next 10 years. No more culture for this kid.

Mine opened a fire door. It set off a blaring alarm through the entire museum. The only way to turn it off was for employee to go through a maze of rooms which took an eternity. We were clearly the cause of the noise too.

We still go though. I just didn't take him to the Chihuly glass exhibit. I would tell him for many visits why he can't have snacks at the museum. DS loves the fire alarm story.

Kids museums are ok!

Sorry. That totally sucks.

Stick to the Egyptian wing! The mummies will have your kid too terrified/fascinated to misbehave.

Lol! We haven't attempted a museum, but my kid would definitely do something like this.

LOL!! I think a hands on science museum would be a better option.

We went to our art museum a couple months ago. Nothing bad happened, but they wouldn't let us carry Nods on our back. So I guess a toddler on the loose is preferable?

I am just going to say that I'm kind of really clutching my pearls at the idea of someone of any age eating in an art museum.

So yes to museums, no to snack cups?

I am surprised that eating was allowed.
I am glad that no damage was done

I would bet you an American nickel that eating was not allowed in the galleries

I have taken my kids to the art museum twice. Interestingly, it was H who almost got kicked out because he was snapping photos of the art with his cell phone. And, yes, I told him this was not allowed.

If it matters, the snacks from the cup were eaten in the car. For some reason, he still had it with him. We had only been in maybe three rooms when this happened.

I almost got kicked out of The Met for getting too close to a Katz. A KATZ Pppppfffftttttt.... Lolololol!
