About
THE MISSISSIPPI CHILDREN'S MUSEUM SEEKS TO EMPOWER AND INSPIRE OUR STATE'S CHILDREN, REGARDLESS OF THEIR SOCIAL, EDUCATIONAL OR ECONOMIC BACKGROUND. THE 40,000 SQUARE FOOT MUSEUM IS DESIGNED AROUND FIVE PRIMARY INITIATIVES, WITH CORRELATING EXHIBITS, PROGRAMS AND OUTREACH EFFORTS. THESE INITIATIVES INCLUDE: LITERACY, SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH (STEM); HEALTH AND NUTRITION; CULTURAL ARTS AND MISSISSIPPI HERITAGE - THE KEYS TO HELPING CHILDREN MATURE INTO HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE ADULT LEARNERS. MUSEUM EXHIBITS PROVIDE ENGAGING, EXPLORATIVE, HANDS-ON EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES. A PRIORITY IN ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS AND EXHIBITS IS EXPOSING CHILDREN TO MISSISSIPPI'S UNIQUENESS AND DEMONSTRATING THE VITAL ROLE IT PLAYS IN THE WORLD TODAY. OUR EXHIBITS INCLUDE WILD ABOUT READING, HEALTHY FUN, WORLD AT WORK, EXPRESS YOURSELF, AND EXPLORING MISSISSIPPI (A ONE-OF-A-KIND TWO STORY CLIMBING MAP). MCM OFFERS WEEKLY PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO ENHANCE EXHIBIT OFFERINGS AND PROVIDE A MULTI-FACETED ENRICHMENT AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR VISITING CHILDREN. THESE PROGRAMS ARE MULTI-DISCIPLINARY AND SEEK TO ENGAGE THE MUSEUM'S FIVE INITIATIVES THROUGH INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES; THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRITICAL LEARNING AND EARLY GROWTH SKILLS; FOSTERING A LOVE OF READING; PROMOTING HEALTHY EATING HABITS AND GOOD NUTRITION; AND THE INCORPORATION OF PERFORMING AND FINE ARTS. EACH SATURDAY, MCM CONDUCTS A PROGRAM THAT REFLECTS THE THEMES OF ONE OF OUR FIVE INITIATIVES - EACH WEEK FEATURES A SMALLER PROGRAM, EXPERIMENT, VISITING ARTIST, OR PERFORMANCE THAT ADHERES TO ONE OF THESE THEMES. MCM HOSTS 1-2 LARGE, MULTI-DISCIPLINARY PROGRAMS PER MONTH THAT PROMOTE CALENDAR YEAR EVENTS AND CULTURAL FESTIVALS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITY. MCM HAS PARTNERED WITH NEARLY 50 ORGANIZATIONS, SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY GROUPS TO PROVIDE SPECIAL PROGRAMS, EVENTS, AND RESOURCES TO UNDER-SERVED AND AT-RISK YOUTH AND FAMILIES THROUGHOUT MISSISSIPPI, DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE WELL-BEING OF THE WHOLE CHILD.
