Delaware Children's Museum

The Delaware Children's Museum will engage community stakeholders and seek out industry best practices and expertise in a significant refocusing and re-visioning of two of its permanent exhibitions and the main lobby area to better meet the needs and interests of its target audience and to reflect technological and societal changes since opening its doors seven years ago. The museum will form an exhibitions task force including experts in museum exhibition design, merchandising, science, technology, engineering, and education. The task force will conduct focus groups and meetings with parents, children, donors and key organizational stakeholders. The project will include testing prototype exhibition elements, resulting in a design concept plan that will enhance its mission to provide playful, interactive STEAM-based learning experiences for children, and meet the changing expectations of Delaware educators, employers, and consumers.
