Children鈥檚 Museum of Pittsburgh announces updated summer hours
Through late August, Children鈥檚 Museum of Pittsburgh鈥檚 building for youth 10+ and teens, MuseumLab, will be open seven days a week from noon to 5 pm.
MuseumLab鈥檚 featured exhibit is 鈥淥pposites Abstract: A Mo Willems Exhibit,鈥� which takes inspiration from the eye-popping, emotive and highly-accessible words and images of best-selling children鈥檚 book author/illustrator Mo Willems鈥� book, 鈥淥pposites Abstract.鈥� The exhibit leads the young and the young at heart to explore the complicated yet simple concept of opposites though hands-on experiences, art making and performances.
Visitors to MuseumLab can also explore cutting-edge activities in art and making, and explore Gymlacium, a unique sculpture created from woven rope and the framework of the space鈥檚 former book shelves. Admission to MuseumLab is included as part of admission to the Children鈥檚 Museum. To learn more, visit museumlab.org.
As part of its 40th birthday celebration, the museum and MuseumLab will also host a blow-out summer free day with live music, circus arts and double dutch performers and lots of fun birthday activities on Saturday, June 24. Learn more at pittsburghkids.org/event/summer-free-day.
