FAMILY SPOTLIGHT
“I’m interested in my kids’ education. I want them to be
able to be open to different cultures, different people, to
explore different things in life and what better place to do
that than a museum? ” Aliza Shmuelis
FAMILY: The Shmuelis • MOM: Aliza •
DAD: Motti • KIDS: Eliyahu (6), Naomi (4)
and Chedva (1)
FAVORITE PLACES TO VISIT: Queens Zoo,
Children’s Museum of Art.
COOL FACT: Aliza, as a mom and a teacher,
has visited practically every cultural institution
in Queens.
EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM: B’Above
Head Start
COOL CULTURE MEMBERS SINCE: 2008
Cool Culture: What is your favorite thing about Cool Culture?
Aliza: The best part about [the Cool Culture Family Pass] is that it
is really easy to use. And you can find everything you need on
the website.
CC: What was it like using the Cool Culture Family Pass for
the first time?
Aliza: It was simple…. everybody recognizes the Cool Culture
Family Pass. We’ve had it for a long time already. We do get
good use out of it, that’s for sure.
CC: Why do you choose to take your children to visit museums?
Aliza: I’m interested in my kids’ education. I want them to be
able to be open to different cultures, different people, to explore
different things in life and what better place to do that than a
museum? They learn a tremendous amount, whether it’s
hands-on or just by looking at different things, just by observing
other people.
CC: That’s great! What would you say your kids like best
about the Cool Culture experience?
Aliza: They know that it's a family outing, so they get really
worked up for it. They have a full day and they enjoy it. Some of
these museums are exploding with activities.
CC: How do you find out about museum activities?
Aliza: I always call [the museums] before I visit because they
really know what is age-appropriate. We really have had a good
experience everywhere. The activities have always started on
time and lasted the right amount of time for the attention span
of the kids.
CC: What’s one museum with a lot of activities that you
have visited together?
Aliza: Children’s Museum of the Arts. Right away they put
smocks on them for painting. The kids really liked that
museum because it's hands-on. Such a great museum!
CC: It sounds pretty cool! What museum experience has
been the most fun for your family?
Aliza: They're all fun, that's the truth. They all have something
good about them.
CC: Of all the great places to visit in Queens, which is
your family’s favorite?
Aliza: The [Queens] Zoo. With strollers, it's so easy to get
around. On a good summer day, it's just good to get ice cream
and be out.
Naomi: We saw a big bird at the zoo. He was colorful.
CC: The Queens Museum of Art is co-hosting the Catch
the Cool family day with Cool Culture in June. Have you
visited there before?
Aliza: Yes, I've been there plenty of times, even dating back to
when I was in eighth grade. Just for The Panorama [a 9,335square-foot model of New York City], I would recommend it to
anybody. From the first time you see The Panorama, it’s amazing.
If you're from any of the five boroughs, to see New York City like
that, in such detail... it's fantastic. [For more info on The
Panorama and the Queens Museum of Art, check out pages 2
and 3 of this newsletter]
CC: So what advice would you give to families thinking
about using their Cool Culture Family Pass?
Aliza: Take advantage of it! There are so many things to do. They
don't really limit you, you can go anywhere with it. In the five
boroughs, there are plenty of activities. You get to enjoy things that
you would otherwise think twice about going to because it would get
too expensive. It's so simple that there is nothing

xplore New York City’s exciting history,
imagine its fascinating future and discover
some of its coolest artistic treasures with a
visit to the Queens Museum of Art!
“We picture it almost as a cabinet of curiosities,” says David Strauss, Director of External
Affairs at the Queens Museum of Art. “We’ve
got a little of this and a little of that which offer
glimpses into the past, present and future.”
Know Before You Go
The museum is located on the former site of the
World’s Fairs that were held in New York in 1939
and 1964. Countries from all around the world
participated in these international cultural
expositions and you can still find unique
reminders of them both inside and outside the
QMA building.
Check out the giant Unisphere globe located
right beside the museum! Standing 140 feet
tall, this towering steel sculpture was built for
the 1964 World’s Fair as a symbol of peace
through understanding.
Must-See Museum Spots
Once inside the museum, stop by “The Panorama
of the City of New York” exhibit for an amazing

view of New York City! Created for the 1964 World’s
Fair, this 9,335-square-foot model is a miniature
version of the entire city and includes 895,000 tiny
buildings that stretch across all five boroughs.
Stroll along the elevated walkway that
surrounds the model for a bird’s-eye view of
this incredible creation. Look for famous
landmarks like the Statue of Liberty or see if
you can spot your neighborhood.
“This is the most fantastic hidden treasure in all
of New York City,” Mr. Strauss says.
Another exciting exhibit is “Tiffany: The Glass,”
which features sparkling squares of color,
gorgeous glass lamps and massive, majestic
windows that were crafted in Queens 100
years ago.
“(The stained glass exhibit) is an easy way for
parents to connect with their children because
you don’t have to feel confident in talking about
works of art,” says Lindsay Smilow, Associate
Coordinator of School, Youth and Family
Programs at the Queens Museum of Art.
Ms. Smilow suggests that you focus on finding
different colors, shapes and textures throughout
the exhibit. Make a game of counting all the

Awesome Activities
These exhibits and others throughout the museum
are explored during free art workshops for families
that take place every Sunday afternoon at QMA.
“The benefit of having a different (workshop) focus
all the time is that you can enjoy every work in the
museum over the course of a year, if you choose to
come back every Sunday,” Mr. Strauss says.
Insider’s Tip
Since there are so many fun spots to see in and
around QMA, pack a lunch and plan to spend the
day here!
“Interact with the exhibits at the museum, but don’t
forget the fact that we’re set in a beautiful park
surrounded by natural wonders and other fantastic
institutions including the Queens Zoo, the New York
Hall of Science and the Queens Botanical Garden,”
Mr. Strauss says.
Catch the Cool at QMA
Definitely drop by the Queens Museum of Art on
Saturday, June 18th for a special afternoon of
