Jeff Koons: One Ball Total Equilibrium

For over five years, CMOM has transformed the way children experience art. With the launch of the Art and Innovation Lab, creativity took center stage. Children could dive into a variety of hands-on projects, such as drawing and sculpting, while guest artists inspired them one-on-one to discover a true passion for art.

Now, we are raising the bar once more by showcasing Jeff Koons’ One Ball Total Equilibrium. Children will not only marvel at this iconic artwork but also participate in a series of creative projects inspired by it. They will explore still life drawing, construction, and STEAM activities that blend math, art, and science, just like the masterpiece itself. Hands-on activities, touch screen information and guest speakers will inspire children to look past the ordinary. On display through December 31.
