The New Children’s Museum is a new model of children’s museum whose mission is to stimulate imagination, creativity and critical thinking in children and families through inventive and engaging experiences with contemporary art. With a variety of interactive installations and hands-on activities, there's always something new to discover!
Our newest installation, Whammock!, is now open! This interactive, three-dimensional textile environment resembles a giant hammock of colorful crocheted circles, open pockets and dangling pendulums. Whammock! will be located on the Museum’s Upper Level, where children (and adults) will be able to climb, swing, crawl.
Did you know we’re also an event venue? Plan your wedding, holiday party, corporate event or meeting in our unique space. Check out @ncmevents on Instagram or visit thinkplaycreate.org/visit/book-an-event for more information.
