10 Best Things to Do in Rome with Kids

"Rome’s Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna (GNAM) showcases the city’s art scene through thousands of sculptures, paintings, and drawings from the 19th and 20th centuries. They’re also cultivating art appreciation in little ones by running family tours and creative workshops alongside temporary exhibitions with the help of a non-profit called Art and Seek. Teachers come armed with paper, easels, crayons, and paintbrushes, and depending on theme of the exhibition, kids can make papier-mâché sculptures, paint their own watercolors, or try and impersonate magical realism. There’s drawing, dancing, and play—pretty much the most fun anyone under the age of 13 could ever have in an art gallery. Workshops are generally suitable for children ages 5 and over. They’re not always clearly advertised, so call in advance to find out dates and times, and to ask for an English-speaking guide." - Maresa Manara
