Welcome to our Web site. Click the pictures or use the text links to move around the site. (You can tell which pictures are linked because the cursor will turn into a pointer when you roll over them, and text links may be underlined.)

The top section of the page links to art activities and information about the National Gallery's collections or exhibitions. The lower half of the page contains art programs for kids. If you have a slow internet connection the page may take a few seconds to load fully; just be patient and keep scrolling down to see the full list.

Shockwave Player is required for the NGAkids Art Zone interactives. If you need help setting up Shockwave, QuickTime,  or Flash, read our plug-in help page, which tells you how to download and install the plug-in.

We recommend that you use a current browser. If you're using an early version of Netscape Navigator and you resize the browser window, pop-up links may stop working. Here's how to fix them. Just hit the "reload" button in your browser menu to reactivate the links. If you're using a really out-of-date browser or a text reader, you may prefer using the alternate splash page, which has less complicated code. Please make sure javascript is enabled in your browser's preferences, or some links will not work.

You can always return to the main NGAkids splash page by clicking the black, red, and white NGAkids icon that appears at the bottom of most pages in this section. Click this window closed to return to the main page.
