The Boston Children’s Museum - Creating a Love of Learning

In a world where children and young adults have little choice but to follow rigid education structures, from pre-school right up to undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes, learning is rarely considered fun. With the heavy load of writing assignments and dull textbooks, children are easily turned off by the idea of learning more about the world around them. With the growing demands of current job markets for highly-qualified individuals, it is impossible to create an informal learning environment in the classrooms of schools. But with a little imagination, innovation and passion for educating the young, learning can be made exciting and colourful. This is exactly what the Boston Children’s Museum set out to do in 1913.

Incepted by a group of progressive educators to "encourage imagination, curiosity, investigation, innovation and play", the Boston Children’s Museum allows children as well as adults to nurture a deeper understanding of the world they live in. The museum’s various exhibits cover a wide range of subjects, from nature and science to history to the arts and provide young children a hands-on learning experience. The museum carries out many different educational programmes and activities that help children experiment and learn with independence. World-class exhibitions that are powerful and visually-stunning are successful in grabbing children’s attention towards the learning of the exhibit’s related subjects. The museum is also home to a collection of over 50,000 objects of historical and cultural importance.

The various exhibits that are made available to children at the museum cover many subjects, including science, culture, environmental awareness, health and fitness, and the arts. Some of the museum’s most-popular permanent exhibits include Arthur & Friends, Art Studio, The Common, Global Gallery, Japanese House, KidStage, PlayLab, The Recycle Shop and the Science Playground. Children can also have some great fun on the museum’s light-up dance floor. In addition to its permanent exhibits, the museum also hosts many informative and fun-filled events to promote international understanding and knowledge of history and global arts and culture.
