Who We Are . . .
A pioneer in education, the Brooklyn Children’s Museum was the first museum created expressly for children when it was founded in 1899. Its success sparked the creation of similar institutions around the globe, and today the Museum continues as a world-class institution with community roots. With a recent expansion, all-new exhibits, and all-new programs, the Museum is now both the world’s oldest and the world’s newest children’s museum.Come Play with Us!
We’re open 10am-5pm Tues.-Sun. Starting July 12, we'll be open for BCM members only on Mondays from 9am-1pm.
