Self-guided visit: Anak Anak Labels and Activity Trail for children

Search for the specially written Anak Anak labels in our galleries, and use the questions and prompts on them to encourage close looking and spark conversation! For more fun-filled activities, pick up a copy of the accompanying activity trail booklet from the museum lobby, and use it to guide you through your visit. You can also download the activity trail below.

Psst…Anak Anak means “children” in Baba Malay! For ages 5 and up.
