"My grandchildren have enjoyed the Fractiles
set I purchased for them at the Orlando Museum
of Art more than anything I have given them in
a long time. As chair person of the committee
selecting the merchandise, I have researched Museum
Stores for a year, testing children's things on
my granddaughters, age 12 and grandson, age 9.
These are the best thing yet! The whole family
has enjoyed them and they are super for travel!" - Diane B. Crichlow, Museum
