Purpose: This new children’s exhibit space will welcome young visitors (toddler through pre-teen) and enhance their knowledge of and appreciation for the artistic and cultural contributions of Maryland’s African Americans.
Brief Project Description: The 672 square foot space will be designed to support engagement opportunities for children of all backgrounds and abilities through tactile learning tools, exhibition texts and displays for all learning levels, as well as art-making activities. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the space will be accessible with child-safe vitrines, furnishings, and flooring, as well as on-site strollers and wheelchairs.
This new exhibition experience will provide tactile objects and art activities that complement the museum’s permanent collection, which tells the story of African American Marylanders from 1784 to the present. The dedicated space will also feature objects, texts, and activities that will highlight the museum’s temporary and rotating exhibitions.
