A lot of people are looking for new hobbies or fun ways to keep themselves occupied and entertained right now.
Coloring is a great way to pass the time, whether you’re 8 or 80 years old. And now that adult coloring books are totally a thing, there are a lot of coloring options out there.
Happily, over a hundred museums and libraries from around the world have joined together to provide coloring pages that are free to download and print.
The New York Academy of Medicine led the project, which is called Color Our Collection.
Each coloring sheet can be printed out as a full-size PDF.
The best part is that the museums have made the effort to keep the images kid-friendly, so you should be able to peruse the site with your children and print out coloring sheets for all of you.
