Montana Museum of Art & Culture
In March the Montana Museum of Art & Culture held a treasure hunt to engage kids with art. Why use a treasure hunt? Museum docents are quoted in Dillon Kato’s report as saying:-
- “We really want kids and families to engage with the pieces more.” Anne Bertsche
- “The vision is that families will do it together,” Amy Beale
- “It’s kind of a ‘Where’s Waldo?’ ” Anne Bertsche,
While museum visitor, Kali Wood confirmed “It definitely made us spend more time looking at each painting” and Susie Castle, another visitor, agreed, adding “I’m actually really into it too” .

The Street Art Treasure Hunt
Wednesday, May 27, 2015 from 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM – Discover Art on the Streets of Brixton
“Street Art in Brixton” explores art on the streets of Brixton. Blurring the lines between street and public art, the Street Art in Brixton Treasure Hunt features commissioned works and works by known graffiti artists.
Street Art, rebellious and illegal, began as a way of taking art out of traditional galleries and giving it back to the people. However, some authorities recognised that art could be used to regenerate areas and so public art began to be commissioned by cities or property owners. Now art on the street and street art have become culturally enriching and socially acceptable.
