A second post on our recent San Francisco trip--this time on the delightful child-friendly art we found all over the city in public places and museums. In
prior blog posts, I have written about the elements of child-friendly public art, including art that is tactile and interactive, engages a child's imagination and sense of wonderment, and is loved by people of all ages. Along those lines, here are some of the child-friendly art installations that we happened upon and fell in love with during our San Francisco trip:
