Children are artists. Using the various materials and tools displayed at the “Museum Just for Kids,” they create freely.
Artworks, objects before they become art, the passage of time, and the movements they inspire—these are the essence of this museum. What will you discover today? What will you be able to create…?
No matter when or how often you visit, this is a space for play and learning that sparks that sense of excitement every time.
