Behind-the-scenes
We are undertaking a comprehensive modernization of the Children’s Museum to ensure that our resources and experiences are even more accessible and impactful for families. The updated dynamic environment and diverse interactives will be a space of wonder where anything goes, and children can feel free to chart their own course.
