About Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh

Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh welcomes more than 306,000 visitors annually and provides “real stuff” experiences for joy, creativity and curiosity. The Museum’s permanent exhibit MAKESHOP® was built in 2011 to create a space for children and families to make, play and design using the same materials, tools and processes used by professional artists, builders, programmers and creators of all kinds. The Museum’s maker-focused initiatives include serving as a the host site for Maker Educator Boot Camp, Youth maker workshops, and an arts and making festival, STEAM Carnival. In 2019, Museum Lab opened adjacent to the Children’s Museum as a New Museum of Older Kids. In the historic 1890 Carnegie Library, Museum Lab serves as a platform for innovations in learning at the crossroads of school and museum. It contains art, making and digital media laboratories for use by visitors and multiple partners including a school for 120 middle school students.
