That's an amazing story- I didn't know anything about this initiative. I remember a poster of Hunters in the Snow by Bruegel up in my primary school assembly hall in the 1970s and it always puzzled and annoyed me, it seemed too bland and dull to be a famous painting, I found the way the hunters were frozen would worry me. But I must have spent hours gazing at it and when I finally saw the original in Vienna it had a huge emotional impact on me!

Thankyou so much for your insight! That is exactly the point, small children spend hours gazing at an image and it becomes part of their world.
