Late 70's/early 80's. Based on a children's story? A young boy and girl sneak off to the city and hide in a museum, looking for some famous/elusive artist/author?

thanks!

(that was the name of the book, the 70's movie was also known as "The Hideaways," depending on where it was released. There was also a more recent TV movie.)

Dangit, I finally knew one and someone beat me to it! I've never seen the movie, but the book is pretty good (I read it in like 3rd grade).
