I want to have the brain un-frozen to appreciate the works!
If you plan on visiting Venice, I'd also recommend traveling in the winter: the piazzas are ruined by shoulder to shoulder tourists---it's so much smaller than other major art centers and spoiled by far fewer folks. I've visited twice, both times in winter, and had a wonderful time. Be forewarned, however, that 25 degrees in Venice feels much, much colder: it must be the wind off the omnipresent water, coupled with the humidity.
(My wife has already (!) started the art appreciation: there's a series of child's books with famous paintings the themes of which kids like. (Of course, she's been hearing classical music since she was a baby (our daughter, that is...).
