Jeff Koons Family Day

Some artworks by Jeff Koons seem a lot like child’s play, and this weekend the Whitney Museum of American Art is encouraging children — at least in their imaginations — to play with them. In conjunction with the show “Jeff Koons: A Retrospective,” the museum is holding this family day, at which young visitors can explore works like “Balloon Dog (Yellow)” and “Play-Doh!” and make their own art in response. The fun will include charades, balloon animals, a photo station and snacks, and from 9 to 11 a.m., the museum will be open exclusively to families.
