Children’s museums have a diverse mission, including an introduction to history, culture, technology and the arts. In addition, they have to provide a unique experience to compete with the many other competing interests for a child and family’s time. The studio worked in collaboration with a local group that operates a min-children’s museum, Explore n’ More, who were chosen to develop and operate a children’s museum at Canalside, tentatively called Buffalo n’More. The studio benefited from the participation of both the Explore n’More and Canalside development staff and consultants.
