We took the Subway. No problem parking. The Realtor group went to N.Y. several times a year. At least 3xs, we would got to The Met before going to a twofer. Our mode of transportation was the Bus. Every Year The Alzheimer's Assoc. sends me a calendar of Impressionists. This year was mostly Monet with a few Van Gogh's nd a Renoir. Continue to enjoy. Love and kisses to All, Mom/ Grandma Joan I Love Monet.

I had to laugh about the parking as I am from Baltimore and experience that frequently - except we have to pay $12-20 for that right to park! The blessing is now the two major art museums in Baltimore are always free (something our current governor did in his last months as mayor of Baltimore - hmmm something to help him win the election, perhaps?)

You'll like some of the other museums, too. When my kids were still in the stroller, we liked the Mingei (Folk Art) a lot. The last time we were there, strollerless, I turned my back for a moment and my son decided to dance on the carpet from Kazakstan. So I don't recommend it for really adventurous four year olds. Our current family favorite is probably the Rueben H Fleet (Science). Lots of hands-on stuff, and a large area specially designed for the under-6 set.

Monet at the National Gallery a few tube stops away, not to mention Paris just over (or under) the water! I've been to Giverny, too, and it's absolutely lovely, behind all the swarms of other tourists.

What we used to do on Free Tuesdays is to arrive at the park around 9-ish for a breakfast picnic - some quiche, cherry tomatoes, cheese and crackers. That way we always found parking literally right beside the musuem without too much hassle. Hope you have better luck next time! Ahhh.. more fond memories.

I blogged about them ages ago here: http://jovecanada.typepad.com/tricotomania/2007/02/art_lessons.html The books are very well done. Accessible to the kids but chock full of good information that really helps you learn how to look at these things.
