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 new Tot Studio, tikitiko, opens October 11! Inspired by care and empathy, tikitiko will be designed for toddlers and caregivers to make meaningful connections around abstract, anthropomorphic forms covered in colorful, soft and furry textiles. In preparation for this transformation, Tot Studio will be closed until tikitiko opens in October.
