The Discovery Children's Museum was awarded a $508,683 project grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Museums for America (CFDA 45.301) program to launch the fabrication and installation phase of a new centerpiece climber exhibit exploring the Southern Nevada natural environment. Building on a previous grant, the project will continue collaborating with partners to address visitor feedback, with a focus on creating a welcoming, learning-focused, and safe environment for families, children from birth to 12 years old, caregivers, and educators. Key activities include fabricating exhibition components, developing programs and educational materials, producing signage, and installing the new exhibit for public opening. The project aims to promote curiosity, enhance learning efficacy, and strengthen gross-motor skills through an immersive, interactive gallery experience.
