The Museum is a unique cultural institution located on Museum Row in Los Angeles, featuring hands-on exhibits for children 0-8 to explore BIG IDEAS in creative and inspiring settings. The Museum’s permanent and rotating exhibits, some of which have Jewish cultural themes, are the focal points from which programming about BIG IDEAS is used to engage diverse participants in learning about one another. Seasonal or topically themed programs and festivals for families are conducted on Sundays featuring art workshops, theatre, and music for children and parents. A series of classes for toddlers and parents are offered year-round to begin to introduce BIG IDEAS to the youngest child. School tours for pre-kindergarten through second grade classes support curriculum. Joint customized programming with other organizations meets the needs of their clients, such as children with severe special needs. To expand its reach, Museum staff conduct outreach to bring BIG IDEAS and arts activities to community-based locations such as shopping malls, neighborhood block parties, public schools, etc.
