- At Home with LIM
We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during this trying time. The LIM believes in the power of the arts to unite us and soothe our collective spirit. In an effort to inspire you to explore your own creative side we are launching At Home with LIM, a series of online family art and history activities, based on the Museum’s collection, historic buildings and grounds. A new lesson will be posted each Monday while we are closed to the public. Postings will include images from the Museum’s collection for inspiration, as well as instructions for an at home activity that can be done with household supplies.
Here’s how you and your family can participate in At Home with LIM:
- After enjoying the lesson, please send us pictures of your family and your creations, so we can post them on social media to share with our community.
- Use the #AtHomeWithLIM and tag us @limuseum on Instagram and @LImuseum on Facebook when posting your finished projects on your own personal pages. Please have your post set to “public” and we will then share/repost them on our social media pages.
- If you have any questions email us at: educators@longislandmuseum.org
We hope that you and your family will join us for an opportunity to shift your focus, even just for a moment, and take part in something uplifting and positive together.

Off the Rack:Building & Preserving LIM’s Art Treasures
In an effort to inspire you and your loved ones to explore art together we have launched At Home with LIM to help us stay connected with our diverse audiences. This activity guide compliments the virtual tour of one of ourcurrent art exhibits, Off the Rack: Building and Preserving LIM’s Art Treasures.
Please follow this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkjWK-dDbpQ and watch the tour before reviewing our activities below. As you take the tour you’ll see images of inside the museum as well as close-ups of some of the pieces ondisplay.
The video is narrated by Joshua Ruff, our chief curator who put together the exhibit. As well as creating the exhibits, it is the curator’s job to safely store the museum’s vast collection of art, consisting of more than 500 paintings, 2,000works on paper, and over 50 sculptures. Collections are groups of objects which hold special value to a person or the community. Much of this collection usually stays out of visitors’ sight, in carefully protected storage spaces.
This exhibition allows us to push open the doors and empty our storage areas, to give visitors a chance to see some of the rare and outstanding highlights of LIM’s collection.
