The Boston Children’s Museum is the second-oldest children’s museum in the world and has been a leader in playful, hands-on learning. Dedicated to inclusive and child-centred education, the museum encourages curiosity and builds skills though engaging environments. Summer saw the opening of The Art of Being Green exhibit, a celebration of artistic exploration, highlighting art as a tool for both personal growth and community engagement.
