A pioneer in education, Brooklyn Children's Museum was the first museum created expressly for children when it was founded in 1899. Its success sparked the creation of the worldwide children's museum movement, and today the Museum continues its leadership as a world-class institution with deep community roots. A recent expansion designed by Rafael Vinoly doubled the Museum's size, gave New York City its first "green" museum, added several visitor amenities, and introduced all-new exhibitions on the arts, culture, science, and the environment that serve as a gateway for lifelong learning among children, families, and school groups.
