| About The Children's Museum of Houston : |
Rated a five-star children's museum in the country by Citysearch.com, the Children's Museum of Houston is the highest-attended youth museum in the country for its size and is dedicated to its mission of transforming communities through innovative, child-centered learning. Housed in a whimsical building designed by internationally acclaimed architect Robert Venturi, the Children’s Museum of Houston offers a multitude of exhibits bursting with action-packed fun that engage kids in the ultimate learning experience. The Museum was founded in 1980 by a group of Houston parents who hoped to elevate early childhood development to a community-wide priority.
Since then, the Museum has grown to serve more than 750,000 people annually and is dedicated to its mission of transforming communities through innovative, child-centered learning, focusing on bilingual (Spanish/English) learning programs for kids ages birth to 12 years and workshops in literacy, science, math, health, engineering, civic engagement, culture and social studies. The Museum operates as a 501(c)(3) under the direction of a Board of Directors.
In 2005, the Museum launched its Take Another Giant Step Capital Campaign to fund the doubling of the Museum’s exhibition space, the expansion of the Museum’s outreach programs and the formal launch of the Museum’s Institute for Family Learning. On March 14, 2009, the Museum will open its doors to a new building addition featuring more than 39,000 square feet of new exhibition space (83,000 square feet in total), including six new exhibits such as Cyberchase – The Chase Is On!, based on the award-winning PBS KIDS GO! animated series; Invention Convention; PowerPlay, FlowWorks and Kidtropolis, U.S.A. |
