Madison Children's Museum

Madison Children’s Museum will fabricate and install "Rhythms of Life," a long-term exhibition that will explore the interconnectedness of all living things and promote the importance of empathy and caring for the earth. Centered as a journey through the four seasons, the exhibit will feature hands-on components targeted toward children from birth to age 12. Local artists representing the Hmong, Ho-Chunk, Black, and Latinx communities will be engaged in bringing the exhibit to life and in collaboration with local contractors, will use natural, local and sustainable building materials. The resulting exhibition will advance the museum’s commitment to supporting young children’s ability to practice empathy and kindness through joyful play, and will increase visitors’ understanding of how diverse species are all innately linked.
