What's Happening @ The New Children's Museum

Check Out Whammock!

See The Newest Exhibit Whammock!

Whammock isn't just an art, it's interactive, tangible, climbable, childhood dream! If your child is tired of hearing "Don't Touch" when they visit a museum, take them to The New Children's Museum. Many of the exhibits are designed for tactile, kinetic learners. 

Toshiko Horiuchi MacAdam is a leading fiber artist in Canada and Japan.  She's known internationally for her use of knitting, crochet and knot-making techniques and her climbable large-scale textile structures. She was inspired to create textile playground spaces after children climbed into a three-dimensional textile sculpture that she was exhibiting. Her work is mostly hand made. 

Another Great Reason To Love The New Children's Museum

You can expose your child to world class art! Toshiko Horiuchi MacAdam is a world renowned artist whose work has been displayed at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City; the National Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto, Japan; the Palais de Congrès in Paris, France; and the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan. In addition to being the perfect intro to art for tots to tweens, kids are learning as they play and create. The outdoor clay studio, the daily art classes included with admission, the outdoor garden, installations like: The Wonder Sound, Four-Story Tree House, and The Rain House inspire children.
