New Children’s Museum Coming to the Bronx

Construction is close to starting on the site of the future Bronx Children’s Museum, located at Mill Pond Park at the Bronx Terminal Market Powerhouse right along the Harlem River, according to The Riverdale Press. Bronx families and those close by, will soon be able to experience an expansive array of music, science, and the arts. 

Children and families will have access to a 12,800-square-foot museum, thanks to the NYC Department of Design and Construction. The Department will submit their proposals for a design for the museum within the next few days. The design will be what O’Neill McVoy Architects are calling “a marvelous adventure space” for children to learn, explore, and expand their minds.

The museum was formerly housed in a converted school bus, traveling to Bronx schools and community events in order to reach thousands of children. With the new plans, many more children will be able to experience the offerings of the museum and gain a greater understanding and admiration of the arts and sciences, leading to a lifetime of inspiration.
