Today’s outing was to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. We had been before, but never with Erin…
So do toddlers and galleries mix?
Yes, Erin loved it. The exhibits included a ball dispay - 1000 balls of all shapes and sizes scattered in a huge room. The exhibit was interactive but apparently they had too many parents (!) getting over excited! It’s a shame I’d have liked a kick about 
The highlights for Erin were the stripey floored room - a room in which the floor was covered in migraine inducing multi-coloured vinyl tape and the ball room where she liked the echo of her voice.
The gallery and staff were, as the book stated, very child friendly.
Great morning out and definitely one to revisit in a couple years time.

hi - yesss…babies & galleries DO mix! I brought mine to the Queensland Museum of history (actually i can’t really remember what it’s called now!) when I was in Brisbane, and the little one loved it, especially in the dinosaur area!
And all for FREE, galleries can be real boredom busters.
An exhibit that makes parents behave like children? I think we need more of these :-p
Hi Allen,
I tell you, I had to REALLY make an effort NOT to vault the barrier and have a play
We went there on Saturday afternoon. It’s fab, isn’t it? Balls were looking bit deflated but still tempting.
