## About

Nasher Museum of Art, located on Duke University campus, is known for its modern architectural atrium and collection of modern and contemporary art. This weekend, the museum offers a self-guided Family Drawing & Color Lab for families, providing children's drawing boards, non-toxic crayons, stickers, paper cutting materials, and interactive scavenger hunt booklets. These materials are intended to guide children to observe details in the exhibition hall's sculptures and paintings and draw their own artistic ideas. The exhibition hall has a single-story, accessible layout, and wide glass corridors are described as very suitable for smooth stroller use. The main entrance has a designated stroller parking area and accessible restrooms, both equipped with reinforced diaper changing stations and soft chairs for breastfeeding. It is suitable for children aged 2 to 14 and families.
