Brooklyn Children’s was founded in 1899. Its mission is to engage children in educational experiences through innovation and excellence in exhibitions, programs, and use of its collection. It encourages children to develop an understanding of and respect for themselves, others and the world around them by exploring cultures, the arts, science, and the environment. With award-winning, hands-on exhibits, and innovative use of its collections, it engages children from pre-school to high school in learning adventures.
