Families are always welcome at CAMH.
For specific information about an exhibition, either in preparation for a museum visit or in order to continue the conversation at home, please check out the Family Reviews (links found on this page) for our current exhibitions. Here you will find more details about what to expect and how to talk with young viewers about the content on display.
Remember to also ask our Front Desk for a free Art Guide (available in both English and Spanish, also found on this page). You will find the Art Guide full of activities to help young (and old!) viewers slow down, engage with the artwork, and connect what they are seeing with their own thoughts and ideas.
