I only have a few slots left as I gave those who are subscribed to my blog first dibs. if you would like to join us be sure to email me with both your child and your name at Lovedemitrablog@gmail.com.

I will grant the free admission to the first 5 parents who RSVP. Also, if you will like to bring an additional child, it will be $15 per child.

I can’t wait to see you all there, tell a mom to tell a mom.

Oh, and don’t forget to subscribe

Our trip to the Brooklyn Museum

May 2, 2016 | Leave a Comment

Last week I took some well needed days off of work, and used that time to spend with my daughter and nephews.

We were able to visit a couple museums; the American Museum of Natural History (you can see those pictures here), we also made it to the Brooklyn Museum.

I’ve been to the Brooklyn Museum on many occasions, but I haven’t been there in a while, and they have fixed it up so nicely. If you live in Brooklyn, and have never been to the Brooklyn Museum, be sure to put it on your to do list, you won’t be disappointed.

My nephews and daughter were in tow, my eldest nephew enjoyed, teaching me things I didn’t even know about Egyptian art. My youngest nephew was ready to leave after the first 30 minutes lol. Babygirl slept most of the time we were there, so I was really able to take my time, and explore everything in it’s entirety.

My favorite exhibits were the Stephen Power; Coney Island is Still Dreamland (To a Seagull), and of course the agitprop exhibit (which is the combination of agitation, and propaganda). I absolutely LOVE the agitprop exhibit. It’s an exhibit that displays tons of feminist art, and I love that, because I’ve never seen an exhibit solely dedicated to feminist supporters, I barely see feminist artist works at most of the museums I’ve been too, or even art created by women (there are some but not a lot), most of the museums I’ve been to focus on male artist, and there are a lot of women artist who I am a fan of, whose works should be displayed. Hopefully that will change soon.

Anywho, be sure to visit the Brooklyn Museum, and the agitprop exhibit located on the 4th floor.

Here are some pictures from our visit. [Read more…]

Our Visit to the American Museum of Natural history

April 26, 2016 | Leave a Comment

So if you’ve been reading my blog for sometime now, you probably know that my family and I are on a museum journey, visiting as many museums as we can in our city.

Well yesterday my nephews, baby girl and I visited the American Museum of Natural History. My eldest nephew has been bugging me to take them for the longest.

My favorite exhibit was the “Akeley Hall of African Mammal” I love how all the animals looked so real in their habitat, It really made me want to visit a Safari, preferably an African Safari (It sounds good, truth id; i’d probably be too scared).

Anywho, if you’re intrigued by human cultures, the natural world, and the universe, this is definitely the place for you.

Museum of the Moving Image

On Good Friday we managed to visit two museums, the Moma Ps1 which you can see here, and the Museum of the Moving Image.

This museum was much different from any other one I’ve been to. If you’re into the technology of films, movies, and digital film, this is the place for you.

Sekou was more into us than all of us.

Here are a few pictures we captured. [Read more…]

Our trip to the MoMA PS1

March 29, 2016 | Leave a Comment

On Good Friday my family and I decided to take a trip to not one, but two museums, the MoMA PS1, and the Museum of the Moving Image (which I will talk about in another post). Sekou has been wanting to come here for some time, so Good Friday was the day.

The MoMA PS1 is an affiliate of the MoMA, which explains the greatness. The MoMA PS 1 is located in Long Island City, in a hundred year old Romanesque Revival school building. It literally reminded me of when I was in Public school (hence the name), with the stair case, and the offices. What I love about this museum is that they display works from emerging artist, new genres, and new works; most of these popular museums usually display works from already famous artist, so that gives the MoMA PS1 extra points.

I enjoyed myself here, it was much different from any other museum I went to, all the exhibitions were in different classrooms, so you had to walk through the hallways, and staircase to get to the other exhibitions. A few of their exhibitions were closed, but what we seen was really nice, and some interesting. We even got in FREE, with our New York City ID, so if you’re looking for somewhere to go, you should take a trip there, bring the kids too, because Alani seemed to enjoy herself too.

Here are some pictures from our trip.

I absolutely love this painting by Louise Lawler
