This summer (June 28 - September 2, 2025) the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Perelman Building will be transformed into a hot spot for kids and their grown-ups, with five family-friendly exhibitions, Pay What You Wish family festivals, interactive art and play zones, and daily family programs.

Come by anytime to explore, create, and play. All Art Splash programs are free after Museum admission. Remember, kids twelve and under are always free!

Art Splash family programs feature a different theme each week. Tours, Early Bird Read and Look books, and Splash Studio projects change weekly.

Art Splash includes three Pay What You Wish family festivals: Splash into Summer with Artist Jerry Pinkney on Sunday, July 7; Neighborhood Night Out with Artist Candy Coated on Wednesday, July 17; and a picture-book party on Sunday, August 4. Come back throughout the summer to experience it all!
