Art isn’t just for looking anymore — it’s for jumping into.

Our City Editor checked it out, and spoiler alert: this is not your typical museum visit. At the Children’s Museum of Richmond, Framed: Step Into Art invites kids to do the unthinkable — walk straight into famous works of art.

Instead of “look, don’t touch,” this nationally touring exhibit is all about movement, imagination, and play.

Why families love it:

  • Kids can literally step inside framed artworks and become part of the scene
  • It blends creativity, movement, and hands-on exploration
  • It’s unlike anything else currently offered in Richmond

Good to know:

  • Located in the Children’s Pavilion at the Downtown Children’s Museum of Richmond
  • Open through Sept. 13
  • Included with regular museum admission and free for CMoR members
  • Additional art programming will be offered throughout the exhibit’s stay

If you’re looking for a screen-free, creativity-sparking outing, this one’s worth framing on your calendar.
