Red Grooms brightens the Children’s Museum of Manhattan with his whimiscal artwork

Whimsical conceptual artist Red Grooms comes to the Children’s Museum of Manhattan for an extended stay, through Jan. 2014.

Kids and adults can get a behind-the-scenes peek at the artist planning and developing his work, while select pieces — including Pop-Art Construction, Double Decker New York: Above and Below, and Get Groomed — help art buffs see their world in a whole new way.

The museum will host daily hands-on art workshops and programs based on Groom’s artwork.

Red Grooms exhibit on display now through Jan. 2014. Tuesdays through Sundays from 10 am to 5 pm. General admission is $11.
