The
Children’s Museum of
St. Johns, or CMSJ, is an all-volunteer led "emerging
museum" and
currently operating as a "Museum without Walls" as
we search for a location to call home. At this time, we bring
traveling exhibits and programs to various venues throughout
the year. Once open to the public in our own museum space,
CMSJ will be a fun, safe place to play, an exciting place to
learn, and a comfortable gathering place for families to interact.
Children will be able to touch, create, imagine, and learn
through hands-on, interactive play. There will be no signs
that say “DO
NOT TOUCH!” Fun and entertaining exhibits will encourage
play and, at the same time, stimulate the mind.
The possibilities are endless! Exhibits will
be targeted to young children and relate to the unique history
and environment of Northeast Florida.
In addition to interactive exhibits, the museum
will offer classes, workshops, and camps, featuring exploration
of multi- disciplinary subjects. Weekly storytimes and changing
monthly programs and presentations will encourage frequent
repeat visits.
A meeting room and/or cafe that is open to
visitors of the museum would provide a place for parents to
meet and be available to rent for birthday parties and other
special events.
The Children's Museum of St.
Johns is a member of the
Association of Children's Museums and St. Johns Cultural Council
