The New
Children's Museum, in downtown San Diego, opened its doors
in 2008 as a community center for children and families.
The museum features hands on activities that kids can
touch, climb or create. The first thing you notice when
visiting the museum is dramatic design of the 50,000-square-foot
three-level building. The New Children’s Museum
is one of the first green museums in California.
Inside the museum are numerous artworks that kids can
touch and climb plus there are art classes and camps that
kids can join in. There is plenty of seating for parents
and an outdoor playground for children to run, jump and
play to round out the museum experience. Even though the
the museum has been open for several years its still called
"New" because there is always something new
going on.
Hands on studio spaces cultivate the creativity of children,
inspiring them to explore a range of creative art and
design activities with a wide variety of recycled and
sustainable materials. Paint, clay, paper, wood, found
objects and more will become the building blocks of each
inventive studio project. Kids will never get bored visiting
this place.
The New Children's Museum is dedicated to providing inventive
and engaging art experiences that are meaningful to children
and families. The museums mission is to stimulate imagination,
inquisitiveness and innovative thinking by exhibiting
participatory works of art by contemporary artists and
providing a venue for art making and play.
