New Playscape Sneak Peek | This Week's WOW ep. 57

We've been hard at work renovating Playscape to make it bigger and better than ever! In This Week's WOW, take your VERY first glimpse into the re-envisioning of one of the museum's most beloved permanent galleries. Join us as we explore the new Playscape with Josh and Claire, and imagine the extraordinary new exhibit with help from Senior Exhibit Developer, Cathy Donnelly...

So what's behind that "New Playscape" wall? Right now the space has been cleared out and windows are beginning to be installed. This panoramic is your first peek at the space as it appeared in December...

Here in our social media headquarters, we sit directly below the Playscape gallery. Occassionally we'll see a cherry picker pass by our second story office window. This is our cue that they're hard at work demo-ing the space, or putting in the new wall of windows.

The Playscape gallery will remain closed until this summer, but don't worry! Over the next few months we'll continue to share sneak peeks into the exhibit's progress. In the meantime, don't forget that our young visitors and their families can explore our temporary exhibit, Mr. Bear's Playhouse!
