Bronx Children's Museum

Founded in 2005, Bronx Children’s Museum is a new kind of multicultural, Bronx-inspired children’s museum operating “with and without walls” geared to those from infancy through nine years old. Bronx Children’s Museum nurtures children to find their voice, fulfill their potential and connect to their communities, the Bronx and the world beyond. Since 2010, the Museum has engaged more than 150,000 children and families in science and arts-based programming at 774 different community events and 103 educational institutions including schools, afterschool programs, community-based organizations, shelters, libraries, local festivals and parks. In December 2022, Bronx Children’s Museum opened its brand new 13,000 sq. ft. facility in the South Bronx in an historic NY City-owned former powerhouse building along the Harlem River just steps from Yankee Stadium and Bronx Terminal Market. The facility features site-specific art installations by 14 Bronx-connected artists and interactive exhibits where families can play, learn and connect to the Bronx. It is the first-ever children’s museum facility in the Bronx. Through ongoing outreach programing and in-building visits, the Museum anticipates engaging nearly 36,000 children and families in 2023.
