Kids' Guide: Meet the Characters
Young visitors are guided through the Art of the Americas collection by three quirky characters: Lucia, a high school reporter; Steve, an adventurous ten-year-old; and Malone, an art detective. Together, they bring the Art of the Americas collection to life for young people ages 6 to 12.
