When it was established in 1899, Brooklyn Children`s Museum was the first museum created expressly for children, and its success has sparked the creation of 300 children`s museums around the world. With hands-on exhibits and innovative use of its collections, the museum engages children from pre-school to high school in learning adventures, encouraging them to develop an understanding of and respect for themselves, others and the world around them by exploring cultures, the arts, science, and the environment.
