JOSLYN ART MUSEUM

     CULTURE LOVERS AND ART NOVICES
     ALIKE WILL LOVE THIS PINK MARBLE
     MASTERPIECE WITH MORE THAN 11,000
     WORKS OF ART INSIDE AND OUT.

     T
        he Joslyn Art Museum is a masterpiece serving as one of the finest
        examples of Art Deco architecture. The pink marble exterior is
        constructed of Etowah Pink (Georgia Pink) marble while the interior
        is comprised of 38 different marbles from around the world.

     Inside, admire Dale Chihuly’s monumental glass sculpture on your
     way to the permanent collections of art ranging from ancient times to
     the present. View works by iconic artists Rembrandt, Monet, Degas,
     Pollock, Renoir and more. Major temporary exhibitions are displayed
     throughout the year.

     Unleash your little (and inner) artist at ART WORKS, 1,500 square
     feet of interactive space complete with nine activity stations so you
     may create your own masterpieces, like stop-motion animation and
     high-tech paintings. Make your way outdoors to the garden galleries,
     notably the colorful Discovery Garden, complete with 20 artworks.

     Joslyn offers free admission year-round, as well as mobile and guided
     tours. First, satisfy your appetite for art, then your hunger with lunch
     or a snack at Café Durham, located in the Joslyn’s atrium. Before
     leaving, stop in the Hitchcock Museum Shop and select from an array
     of distinctive gifts and souvenirs.

                       Kim recommends allowing at least an hour (or two)
                       in ART WORKS, so the entire family has time to
                       create art together.
