[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There is an outdoor train exhibit for the holidays at the National Botanical Gardens he would enjoy.[/b]

Yes to Museum of Natural History, even if you have been before -- always something good to see there.

I would choose the National Gallery over the Hirschorn for that age. The East Wing will have plenty of modern art if he is interested in that plus even just the big Calder mobile in the lobby could be cool. Then take him to the cafeteria underground (go through the installation with the moving walkways and the lighted tunnel) for a snack and gelato. Then to the West Wing to look at the sculpture galleries downstairs and maybe a spin though a couple of the galleries upstairs (not as engaging for that age but the fountain on the Main Floor is usually fun for a bit and just walking through the building is nice). Then outside to the sculpture garden.

Can also do something similar at the Portrait Gallery but I think NGA works better as it's bigger and has more modern art.[/quote]

Unless its year round the train starts the 24th but thats good to know for December! We have a whole week off after Xmas.

I really appreciate the breakdown of the National Gallery. We dont do a lot of art-focused events so I have no idea if he is even interested, but the breakdown sounds great! [/quote]
