Explore hands-on activities inspired by Chicago artists and MCA exhibitions.

Subscribe to our Family Newsletter to receive a special set of at-home activity prompts via email. New at-home activity guides for families are added to our Learning Resources page monthly.

The MCA has reopened to the public and we’re excited to invite families back for safe, socially-distanced gallery time. Kids and grown-ups can enjoy self-guided prompts for looking at art. No hands on making activities are offered. Prepare for your visit by reading our full safety guidelines and by checking out our social story. Reserve a complimentary time slot at the museum with your family on Family Day, May 8.
