About
Exhibitions+Studios - The Museum enhances early childhood learning through child-led open play and exploration through its: a) Exhibitions - Children touch, jump, climb, and crawl as they physically explore 12+ art installations. Each commissioned artwork is notable for its aesthetics, conceptual ideas, creativity, playability, and layered interactions. b) Studios - Children enjoy art-making and educational themes in 10+ studios that are free with admission. This includes Innovators LAB, the Museums makerspace where children explore STEAM-based projects; Clay Studio where visitors sculpt everything from unique creatures to pinch pots; Tot Studio for the youngest visitors to explore manipulatives that stimulate the senses; Paint Studio that lets children paint a full-sized object like a stagecoach or a truck; and Toddler Time workshops that include finger painting, yoga, and singing.
