Today we went to the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, right by exit 3 off I-95. Tuesdays are free at the museum! The Bruce Museum is a great museum for all ages and throughout the years we have always been impressed with their various exhibits.
Today we saw an exhibition of Roz Chast's art. Chast is probably most well known for her cartoons in the New Yorker Magazine. Even the kids liked this installation.
Okay, can't take pictures in most of the museum but we were able in this area. The kids thought this was hilarious.
Another great art exhibition was called Greenwich Collects. There were works by Andrew Wyeth (his paintings are amazing), Italian Renaissance Drawings and Chinese Antiquities - some of these were from 600 AD!
We then went into the exhibit, Extreme Habitats: Into The Deep Sea. This was very popular with the kids and we were lucky enough to have the exhibit coordinator, Peter, come out and talk to us about the exhibit and the animals living in the deep sea habitat. It was great, a little science lesson and the kids loved it.
We followed Peter to the touch tank where he gave us another lesson on the sea creatures in the tank and the changing environment in Long Island Sound.

After the museum we crossed the street to The Bruce Park Playground. If you have young kids, you have to go to this playground at least once. It is huge will literally keep the kids happy for hours. There is usually an ice cream truck parked in the area for some refreshments but there is a water fountain at the park as well as restrooms.
Its huge
The pictures don't give it justice. Its much bigger!
