Inspirations
“Kids in Museums is a fantastic charity that does fantastic work in making sure museums and galleries keep some of their most important visitors - the children who will sustain them for years to come - at the front of their mind. A great experience in a museum can kick start a lifelong love of culture. A bad experience can do the opposite. That’s why Kids in Museums’ work is so incredibly important.” Ed Vaizey MP
“I remember being taken to museums when I was a child and loved it. Museums are magical places and we take our kids to them regularly, both in Yorkshire and London. Our favourites are probably the National Railway Museum in York, the National Coal Mining Museum in Wakefield but we also love the Natural History Museum too.
I am very impressed by the impact that Kids in Museums has had in such a short space of time. I urge every museum in the country to support their new manifesto and ensure that every visit is fun for families.” Ed Balls, Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families
“Kids in Museums is a fantastic organisation that has set out to make museums as accessible, enjoyable and family friendly as possible. Their work in this area is extremely valuable and promotes and encourages families enjoying museums together. It’s going to be a pleasure getting my granddaughter out to museums and galleries and giving her an experience that so many children currently miss out on.” Annette Brooke MP, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Children, Schools and Families
“We’re excited about all the other possibilities of touring rather than being in a hotel room pranging out all night. It’s almost more rock and roll to visit museums.” Mike Skinner from The Streets
“…the intersection of creativity and commerce is about more than economic stimulus, it’s also about who we are as people. The President and I want to ensure that all children have access to great works of art at museums like the one here. We want them to have access to great poets and musicians in theaters around the country, to arts education in their schools and community workshops.
We want all children who believe in their talent to see a way to create a future for themselves in the arts community, be it as a hobby or as a profession…” Michelle Obama at the Met NYC
