关于我们

The New Children's Museum is a dynamic new model of a museum that celebrates children and the arts. The Museum brings families together in a rich educational environment that fosters creativity— blending elements of art museum, children's museum, and community center. A non-profit institution funded by admissions, memberships, and community support, the Museum empowers children to think, play and create through participatory exhibitions, engaging art-making activities, captivating artistic performances, and in-depth educational opportunities. Serving all ages, from toddler to teen, The New Children's Museum inspires new ways to see the world through the language of art. In May of 2008, The New Children's Museum opened a new environmentally sustainable facility in downtown San Diego's Marina District. Designed by Rob Wellington Quigley, the 50,000-square-foot building houses expansive galleries, open studio environments, and an Arts Education Center offering unique classes and camps. Across the street from the building is a beautiful park, extending the museum visit outdoors with space for running, climbing, family picnics and a view of the trains and trolley going by. Rounded out with an organic cafe, abundant seating, quiet space for parents and infants, and an outdoor park, the Museum provides a comfortable and engaging environment for the entire family to enjoy together.
