Creative Way To Beat the Heat

Looking for a way to escape the summer heat with your children? Visit local art galleries or museums, said Toni Nordan, curator of the UAB Visual Arts Gallery. A trip to the local gallery is a cool retreat and a great way to introduce children to different aspects of creativity.

Now is the perfect time to plan a museum outing. For example, the work of French artist Henri Matisse is on special display this summer at UAB Visual Arts Gallery and the Birmingham Museum of Art.

"Children often get into a summer routine that doesn't stimulate their creativity. It's important to vary these routines -- it's boring going to the pool every day."
