A Time of Support
As the Museum makes milestone progress towards opening its doors in 2022, your support helps us bring enrichment programming to children throughout the Bronx now.

For more than ten years, Bronx Children's Museum has inspired children, in partnership with their parents and caregivers, to learn about themselves, their communities, and the world they live in.

Help us lead the way for children to dream big and create a world of possibilities.

On Wednesday, December 1, Bronx Children's Museum thanked City and State Officials for their unwavering support as NYC Parks Commissioner Gabrielle Fialkoff and NYC Department of Design and Construction Acting Commissioner Thomas Foley presented a symbolic key to Board President Hope Harley and Executive Director Carla Precht. The Ceremony marked the completion of construction of the interior space of the Museum in NYC Parks' former Power House located in Mill Pond Park.

Speakers at the Ceremony included New York City Councilmember Vanessa Gibson, BxCM Board President Hope Harley, Bronx Borough President Rubén Díaz Jr., Sonia Manzano (formerly “Maria” from Sesame Street) who has supported the museum for more than 17 years, New York State Assemblymember José M. Serrano, NYC Parks Commissioner Gabrielle Fialkoff, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs Commissioner Gonzalo Casals, NYC Department of Design and Construction Acting Commissioner Thomas Foley, NYC Department of Education Chancellor Meisha Ross Porter and BxCM Executive Director Carla Precht.

Bronx Borough President Rubén Díaz Jr. said, "Shame on us if we don't support the Bronx Children's Museum. Shame on us if we don't support a location where our children can come and expand their mental skies. This Museum is about making sure our kids have a space to expand their imagination."
NYC Councilmember & Bronx Borough President-Elect Vanessa Gibson said "Today we celebrate the culmination of hard work and tenacious focus towards opening the doors of the first-ever Children’s Museum in the Bronx."
