The Elmhurst Art Museum has activities that include viewing of two current exhibits entitled “With a Capital P: Selections by Six Painters” and “Luftwerk: Parallel Perspectives.” Both are held in the Mies van der Rohe-designed mid-century architectural marvel, The McCormick House. You can also take part in a fun, interactive art activity related to the exhibits.

The Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art features three whimsical meals all made of stone in its popular exhibit called “The Rock Café.” View all of the museum’s permanent exhibits of stone carvings, beautiful gemstones and the spectacular Castle Lizzadro made of 18-karat gold and jewels. Kids can search for real fossils, minerals and rocks to take home in the stone hunt.
