Indoors and out, our MiniArtMuseum for Children will be an enthralling
wonderland setting for a magical museum experience based on Lewis
Carroll’s timeless classic for children. Visitors to Alice’s
Adventures in Wonderland, opening on Sunday, June 7 and remaining
on view through Sunday, September 7, are greeted along the pathways
to the MiniArtMuseum by an enchanted garden, a giant chessboard,
the Queen’s croquet grounds, giant mushrooms and the Mad
Hatter’s tea party. The entranceway features a looking glass
that ushers young audiences into Alice’s world where they
encounter such delights as the Queen’s Castle, bottles urging
“drink me,” a stage that permits visitors to become
the characters of Alice’s captivating world, easels and
drawing materials that will invite youngsters to create their
own interpretations of what they’re seeing and giant cards
that children can use to fashion their own wondrous castles. The
walls of the MiniArtMuseum are hung with artist Max Hergenrother’s
fanciful pen and ink illustrations in which he reinterprets Alice’s
fantasy adventures for new generations of children.
The MiniArtMuseum for Children is dedicated to art exhibitions
and art activities for children and their families. It is the
region’s sole art museum dedicated to children. The building
is open Tuesday-Sunday, 12-4:30 pm.

and created by Colorado artist Elaine Diehl who was inspired by
Lady Elaine’s fantasy castle in Tennyson’s Lady of
the Lake. The miniature version now on view at the MiniArtMuseum
for Children includes furniture, sculptures, artwork, lighting
and more, all created by miniaturist artisans from around the
world. Special showings of Astolat Castle are available. Call
