The entire family can enjoy art-inspired activities combined with science, engineering, and design-thinking in multi-sensory experiences! The IDEA Museum’s purpose is to develop one’s creativity in its many forms and not just art.
The i.d.e.a. Museum is built upon the solid and successful 36-year history of the Arizona Museum for Youth, the original, fun, inspiring, and educational hands-on art museum for children and families in the United States.
The activities and exhibition for kids of all ages focus on three key pillars: supporting early learning, nurturing creative thinking, and engaging families, that’s why the i.d.e.a museum inspires children to experience their world in a unique and different way. These activities and exhibitions are not only developed for children, but for the whole family!
Nearly 90,000 children of all ages and backgrounds are inspired annually by providing art exhibitions and STEAM activities to experience new ways of seeing their world. This is essential for making the community diverse and the best it can be!
