Children's Museum of Indianapolis

The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis will update the permanent exhibition, Carousel Wishes and Dreams, to address a growing gap in imaginative playtime for children while providing an immersive environment for self-directed play and exploration with enhanced accessibility. The project team will consult with a specialist carousel conservator to develop a condition and treatment history of the carousel and make recommendations for its preservation. Exhibition planning and design will be led by the museum's cross-departmental team while the carousel undergoes preservation and repairs. Museum staff who specialize in the creation of immersive 3D environments will produce and fabricate the exhibition once conservation is complete. As a result, the museum will offer a long-lasting immersive exhibition for visitors of all ages and abilities to play, explore, and discover.
