Rodin Museum statue garden in Paris.

Ever wonder how to help a youngster engage in a museum? 

At 10, he raced through the museum's interior in record time. But

the garden captured his interest. From one statue to the next, he was eager to make his own body match the pose.

He quickly mastered each pose and returned to a few, to be more precise.

Becoming more curious to perfect his stance, he also engaged other visitors in his discoveries. Several followed his progress through the garden.

Frequent smiles meant he was on to something!

His physical confidence improved noticeably as we moved through the garden. Not just those big muscles but attention to detail added depth to his discovery.

He even got his Pop Pop involved, revisiting all the statues.

As the poses became more detailed, props were introduced! A found sheet of paper and a small stick became a brush and palette.

A good day visiting a museum with kids. Never underestimate their interests.
