EXHIBITION EXPERIENCE
Imagine a vibrant learning space filled with water play, pretend areas, physics, science, art, music,and places to climb, build,and examine. The Westchester Children's Museum will serve children ages 0-10, and offer opportunities for continued growth for pre-teens and teens. The content will draw from the dramatic history, cultural diversity, flourishing ecosystems, and rich literary and artistic traditions of our region.
This will be a world class learning institution that refelcts the diverse residents of our region through a commitment to intergenerational learning and building awareness of the environment and the cultures and customs of our neighbors.
The location on the Sound will lend itself to environmental programming. Sustainability and green design are among the design and educational priorities.
Currently, the Westchester Children’s Museum is working with Dattner Architects, a renowned New York City firm with a long history of master planning and building educational and cultural institutions. The Museum has also engaged the outstanding exhibition designers Van Sickle & Rolleri Ltd. -- planners, designers and producers of award-winning projects for visitor centers, museums and educational environments whose projects are focused on natural, cultural, and social history, the environment and physical science. Thomas Luckey, creator of renowned climbing structures at the Long Island and Boston Children’s Museums, has been commissioned to create a unique climbing structure for this Museum.
