We were honored to welcome Commissioner Diya Vij from the @nyculture, Assistant Commissioner Angela Blocker and their team to the Staten Island Children`s Museum today!

Thank you for taking the time to tour our museum. We shared information and plans about our upcoming Explore Staten Island exhibit, set to open in October, and how hands-on experiences inspire curiosity, creativity, and learning in children throughout our community.

We are grateful for the continued support of the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs and look forward to continue working together to ensure that arts and culture remain accessible to all NYC children.
