Hands-on session at the Meadows Museum to experience art through touch, smell and sound, with a new featured work every other month.
The Meadows Museum is hosting another session of its Sensory Cart on Saturday, December 19, from 1 PM to 3 PM. If you've never come across it, the cart is a hands-on way to experience art through touch, smell, and sound. Instead of just looking at a painting from behind a rope, you get to explore the actual materials used in the museum's galleries and bring a featured work to life. It's a tactile approach to art that lets you engage with the work in ways you usually can't in a museum.
One thing that makes it worth returning to is that the cart is updated with a new work of art every other month. Because the focus shifts, each session offers something different to discover, so if you've been before, you'll find a new piece to work with this time around.

The session is free with regular museum admission. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors 65 and over, and $4 for non-SMU students. Members get in free, and youth under 18 are also free—that last part is made possible by a grant from the Fichtenbaum Charitable Trust, with Bank of America, N.A. as Co-Trustee. The Meadows Museum is at 5900 Bishop Blvd. in Dallas, and the Sensory Cart runs from 1 PM to 3 PM on Saturday, December 19.
