An exciting new development in the museum field and early childhood education, makerspaces give children a place to create and design. Our MakerSpaces feature activities in art, design, technology, and science. Children will have an opportunity to create new projects every time they visit.

An interactive experience comprised of thousands of small, uniform building planks yielding endless creation possibilities. Incorporating elements of art and architecture, the exhibit challenges children, fuels creativity, and allows for collaborative interaction.

Spaces for creating works of art or engineering inventions are scattered throughout the Museum
