Get a sneak peek of future museum programming inspired by our exhibits at your local library!!
This summer, our exhibit experiences will be traveling between these @GRiverLibrary locations: Long Prairie, Royalton, Monticello, Howard Lake, Kimball, Albany Public Library, & Upsala.

Preparations for construction continue! We've started the next phase of demo in our space. What a transformation! Here's a little 'before' vs 'during' of our community room.

Look who we spotted in New Orleans! Mary Haizlip of haizlipstudio, our exhibit design firm, was at the Association of Children's Museums InterActivity conference showcasing some of their incredible exhibit concept designs - including one of ours! Thanks Mary for snapping a photo with us 😊 #IA23

Beep beep! Creative thinkers coming through!
This just goes to show that an ordinary cardboard box can be something extraordinary! These forms of open-ended play hold an important role in learning giving children the chance to create, #ExploreTogether , fail, & try again!

Last week, our team traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana for the 2023 Association of Children's Museums InterActivity Conference. 3 days of conversations, panels, and information sessions. And, of course, there was time for play!!

No matter the topic, access to play and the power of play to empower children’s creativity and curiosity is at the core of what we do.
