hey families!
we all know that we live among many plants,
but can you name some of them in your neighborhood?
when did you first feel the companionship of plants?
have you already spotted any plant-inspired artwork at the Rockbund Art Museum this year?
our spring program 2024 is wrapping up on 25th august. before it ends, we’re inviting kids aged 3-10 and their families to join us for a fun-filled plant adventure at the museum. let's explore the plants that spark artists' creativity and learn more about our little green friends!
join us for "plants in my little world!" where families can:
- take part in a plant treasure hunt in exhibition galleries
- create plant-decorated wearables with young artists
- dance and become a plant with dancer nannan in the "auuuuditorium"
through observing, touching, and even becoming plants, kids and families will discover the plants that share our living spaces, learn about their unique personalities, and see how plants connect with us.
parents and kids, you’re both important:
adults and kids experience the world differently because of height, life experiences, leisure time and more. "plants in my little world!" aims to create a fun and cooperative experience for families, with simple activities you can do at home as well. plants connect us to our surroundings and bring families closer together.
what to bring:
- some fresh leaves from your houseplants or neighborhood
- a piece of used white fabric from home
these will be our special tools for getting to know plants better!

我们知道自己与众多植物共同生活，
但你能说出几种小区附近的花花草草？
你从哪个瞬间开始感受到植物的陪伴？
如果你曾在今年来过外滩美术馆，是否注意过展览中那些跟植物有关的作品？
春季展览即将在8月25日与观众们说再见。在此之前，我们希望邀请3-10岁的小朋友和他们的家庭一起来到美术馆，共同度过与植物相处的时间，从结识美术馆里给予艺术家灵感的植物开始，对我们周围的小世界再多一点了解。
“植物和我的小世界！”将鼓励3-10岁亲子家庭以植物为线索，联动所有感官：
- 参加春季展览植物寻宝大赛；
- 和青年艺术家学习用植物为自己拓染一件小装扮；
- 最后和囡囡老师一起在“讲———堂”化身会舞动的植物！
在观察，接触，甚至成为植物的过程中，小朋友和家庭会了解身边那些与我们一起分享生活空间的它们，看到植物的个性，也看到植物和自己相像的联系。
小朋友和大朋友都是重要的参与者：
一个家庭中的成人和小孩生活在重叠的小世界，但因为身高、生活经验、休闲时间等等不同，会对植物和我们所生活的附近有着不同的了解。“植物和我的小世界！”希望为家庭提供沟通和协作的体验，可以让大家把这些简单但好玩的方法复制到家庭的日常互动当中。植物不但联系起人和小世界，也联系起家庭中小孩和大人的想法。
你可以带来：
- 一些从家养植物或附近收集到的任何新鲜叶片。
- 一块家里的旧布料，白色为宜。
这些都会成为当天与植物结识的好帮手！
票价：
200元 一大一小
100元 增加一位家庭成员
购票时请您知悉：
由于活动内容，每个家庭必须有成人参与。由于材料准备，本次活动最晚退票时间为8月20日18:00。
