The first session of SAM’s guided art tours for children took place on Thursday, June 29 and was a big hit with the kids.

Hosted by SAM public programs co-ordinator Olivia Trenorden, kids got to explore the fun of exhibit Dance Me to the End of Love, a massive collection that went on display in March.

Children were taken on a guided tour of the exhibit on level two, and explored the entire collection on offer.

SAM will be hosting two further guided tours of the exhibition, on Friday, June 30 and Monday, July 3. The walk through will take around 20 minutes, giving kids plenty of time to explore the amazing art.
