cma one of '10 best museums for families'

The Cleveland Museum of Art was in good company in a recent AOL posting of "Top 10 Museums in the US for Families." The listing also included New York City's Met and MoMa, L.A.'s J. Paul Getty, and the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C.

"With so many choices and varieties, it can be easy to become overwhelmed with culture in the United States," announces the reporter. "In particular, families with teens and kids can become confused about which exhibits are age appropriate and when to go. Luckily, these ten museums have the exhibits and amenities that work perfectly for families and it just so happens that they're among the best collections in the country."

Of the Cleveland Museum of Art, the article states:

With such an extensive collection of works, you'd think the Cleveland Museum of Art frowned on bringing young children. However, they couldn't be happier to host the entire family and feel art can have an effect on children as young as preschool-aged. Strollers to rent are available at the front desk and an in-house café is stocked with fruits and veggies they'll love to nibble on.

Must see: Get a map and be sure to tour the names everyone in the family will know and understand. Van Gogh, Degas, Picasso... the familiarity will be a great bonding experience.
