My Review:
The museum is just doing so many things right!
- A mobile library
- An in museum library
- Fun entrances to spaces
- Layers of information
- Spending money on theming as appropriate
- Including Children’s Art
- Cultural Galleries
Summary:
- A collecting Museum
- A “true” Children’s Museum in the model of the Brooklyn Children’s Museum (The first museum for children)
- Excellent Exhibits
- Lighting, painting, finishes could be improved
- Issues of ergonomics, tables to tall, graphics hung too high
- Exhibit cover a wide range of topics in a relatively small space
