Concept Alternatives - "New" Museum

On February 3 & 4 the Children's Discovery Museum, with Argyle Design presented three concept alternatives for the "new" museum. The expanded Children's Museum is scheduled to open in the Mendel Building in 2017.

A public Open House and Community sessions were conducted over the two days, resulting in fruitful conversations for developing a top-tier destination that is welcoming to all children.

The design concepts can be viewed on the CDM's website. Please click here.
