•Check out the website Montage ([email protected]) for stories and videos about current cultural events, exhibitions, programs, and activities.
•Consider spending a few hours exploring a venue you’ve never visited before to experience the vibrant variety of U-M’s cultural offerings.
•Try making connections between a particular artwork, artifact, collection, or performance and your own personal experiences or the world at large.
•Look for connections between objects from different collec-tions, or between an object and a performance. Ask yourself, what do they have in common?

•At the beginning of your visit, ask staff “what do you recom-mend for families?” and “what kid-friendly activities/programs are taking place today?” Look for printed family or children’s guides, and/or activity sheets.
•Talk to your kids while visiting the exhibition, collection, or attraction. Play a game of I Spy in which you say, for example, “I spy a pink
