Madison Children's Museum

The Madison Children’s Museum will use its IMLS award to fabricate and install Rooftop Ramble, a permanent, year-round exhibition on the rooftop of the Museum’s newly renovated five-story building in the heart of downtown Madison. This project responds to a community need for the Museum and its community to provide expanded natural and physical science programming for children up to age 12. Secondary goals are to create a natural model for the design and use of year-round outdoor urban spaces, to advance the museum’s sustainability practices with a green rooftop with an alternative energy demonstration site, and to contribute to community development and urban revitalization.
