About

Inspired by the energy and diversity of our borough, brooklyn children's museum (BCM) creates experiences that ignite curiosity, celebrate identity and cultivate joyful learning. BCM's exhibits explore art, world cultures, natural sciences and civic engagement through hands-on, sensory experiences. Each week, the museum hosts public programs, school field trips, and performances that introduce young learners to visual arts, dance, music, gardening, and many other disciplines. Through formative cultural experiences, brooklyn children's museum seeks to LAY the foundation for a lifetime of arts and culture appreciation and engagement. The museum is committed to making its exhibits and programs accessible to ALL children, offering free hours on thursdays; free admission to families enrolled in head start programs; free memberships for EBT and idnyc cardholders; and, free admission for families of military service members, firefighters, police officers, teachers and healthcare workers. Roughly half of BCM visitors attend for free or at a reduced rate, with over 30% served at no charge in FY 2023. It is the museum's policy never to turn a visitor AWAY for LACK of funds.
