Blanton Museum of Art
UT Austin art museum whose Ellsworth Kelly stone chapel floods the floor with shifting colored light that kids instantly respond to.
The University of Texas art museum, and the reason to bring kids is Ellsworth Kellys Austin, a freestanding stone chapel with colored glass windows that throw shifting color across the floor. Kids walk in and immediately get it without anyone explaining anything. Inside the main building the galleries are manageable in size and there are family guides and art-making activities at the front desk. Free admission days run regularly. Combine it with the Bullock a few blocks away for a full downtown rainy day.
