Joan Miró ♪ (Latin American music) ♪ Hi, I'm Nestor. I'm seven years old. <i>This is the first time
I've been to this museum.</i> If you come, then you could do art. I saw the water, <i>and I also saw a fountain,
that, if the water spills,</i> it makes a mess. <i>And I saw the dragon.</i> <i>Dragons are really fake.</i> Can I announce in Spanish? Because my mom speaks Spanish. If you want to come, you could paint. <i>So that the other kids
can come to the Museum and see.</i> Thanks for watching. See you soon. (applause) what's your #metkids question? Cheese!
