Playtime 

Little art lover and family enjoying Playtime in the East Building.

Designed for our littlest art lovers: a hands-on space to play, build, sort, and stack.

Playtime meets weekly on Tuesdays (see excepted dates below). Playtime is free and you don’t need to register, so join us anytime!

You’re welcome to park strollers at the checkroom. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please enjoy food and drink only in our cafés.

Playtime will not be held on Tuesday, December 29, 2026.

A woman with pale skin and dressed in white sits on a couch gazing into the distance to our left as she raises one arm to stroke a black cat perched on her shoulder in this vertical portrait. Shown from the lap up, the woman’s dress has voluminous, puffed, elbow-length sleeves and a high collar, and her narrow waist is cinched with a white sash. Her dark brown hair is parted down the middle and tied back, and she has pale blue eyes and pink lips. She reaches up to the cat with her left hand, on our right, and her other hand, farther from us, rests flat in her lap. The black cat looks at us with greenish-yellow eyes as it almost disappears into the dark brown background above the white couch, which is decorated with a blue pattern. The artist signed the work with dark letters in the lower left corner: “Cecilia Beaux.”
