Visitors try out the installation Liz Collins: Energy Field, where a succession of artists have remade the Tang mezzanine with everything from chairs to electric cords to sock monkeys to videos.
At the Build a Better World table, museum educator Ginger Ertz (at right) helps a youngster to fold, cut, glue and otherwise incorporate maps in creating a new artwork.
