Storytime: Hello, Farm! 

¡Hola, granja! 

Visitors enjoy Storytime in the National Gallery's East Building. 

Let’s play together while reading aloud the children’s book Hello, Farm! / ¡Hola, granja! written by Amy Pixton and illustrated by Maddie Frost in English and Spanish. We welcome all ages, especially our youngest visitors and nursing parents.

We will gather our play group at the entrance of our East Building and we will get settled in the Atrium with a special book and other creative ways to play. We will read the story twice. Storytime is free of charge and there is no registration.

You’re welcome to park strollers at coat check. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Have a group to bring? Questions? Contact [email protected].

Storytime takes place the first Friday and Saturday of the month with a new book to enjoy.

Juguemos juntos mientras leemos un libro en voz alta en inglés y en español. Invitamos a personas de todas las edades, especialmente a nuestros visitantes más jóvenes, así como a padres y madres lactantes.

Nos reuniremos con el grupo en la entrada del Edificio Este y nos acomodaremos en el atrio con un libro especial y otras actividades creativas. La hora de cuentos es una actividad gratuita. No hay que inscribirse.

Se pueden aparcar los cochecitos en el guardarropa en la entrada del edificio. Los niños deben estar acompañados de un adulto.

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.”
