Children's Museum of Denver

The Children’s Museum of Denver will create a schematic and design development phases of exhibit planning and design for five new indoor exhibits to be installed as part of a planned expansion. These concepts will include a greatly expanded arts area, a new exhibit gallery exploring the properties of water; a new exhibit gallery that makes visible the effects of air and tests the properties of moving air; a climbing experience that encourages physical activity; a kitchen where young chefs and their caregivers can prepare delicious, healthy foods; and a vast outdoor playscape where children can engage in exuberant physical play. These new exhibits and related programming will enhance 21st century skills such as critical thinking, invention, and collaboration; celebrate the arts; support academic achievement in the sciences; and promote physical activity and good nutrition.
